Add Multiple Keys to the Primary Keystore¶

WSO2 Identity Server enables adding multiple keys to the primary keystore. Let's explore the following topics to learn more.

Add new keys¶

Follow the steps below to add new keys to the super tenant

Locate the wso2carbon.jks file in the <IS_HOME>/repository/resources/security directory in a command prompt.

Info

wso2carbon is the default keystore. To learn how to change the default keystore, see Create New Keystores and Configure Keystores.
Follow the steps given below to generate the new keys and add them to the keystore.
1. Navigate to the <IS_HOME>/repository/resources/security directory on a command prompt.
  
  Info
  
  By default, all WSO2 Identity Server keystores are stored here. You may change it based on your requirement.
2. Execute the following command.
  Format
```
keytool -genkey -alias <PUBLIC_CERTIFICATE_ALIAS> -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -keystore <KEYSTORE_NAME> -dname "CN=<<Common Name>>,OU=<<Organization Unit>>,O=<<Organization>>,L=<<Locality>>,S=<<StateofProvice Name>>,C=<<Country Name>>"-storepass <KEYSTORE_PASSWORD> -keypass <PRIVATE_KEY_PASSWORD>
```
  Example
```
keytool -genkey -alias newkey -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -keystore wso2carbon.jks -dname "CN=localhost, OU=IT,O=https://is.docs.wso2.com/en/6.0.0,L=SL,S=WS,C=LK" -storepass wso2carbon -keypass wso2carbon
```
Tip

If you are planning to delete the newly-added keys in the future, it is recommended to maintain separate keystores for internal and external encryption purposes.

Note

Make sure to use the same password for all the keys and add it to the Password parameter under the [keystore.tls] element in the <IS_HOME>/repository/conf/deployment.toml file.
Follow the instructions given below to set the newly-added key as the primary encrypting and signing key:
1. Open the deployment.toml file in the <IS_HOME>/repository/conf directory.
2. Update the alias parameter under the [keystore.tls] element with the new keystore alias.
  Example
```
[keystore.tls]
alias= "newKey"
```
Restart WSO2 Identity Server.

View private keys via management console¶

Follow the steps below to view the private keys via the WSO2 Identity Server Management Console (https://<IS_HOST>:<PORT>/carbon).

On Main menu of the Management Console, click Manage > Keystore > List.
Click View of the relevant keystore.

The certificate of the private key appears.

View public keys via JWKS¶

To view super tenant public key sets via JWKS endpoint, visit https://<IS_HOST>:<PORT>/oauth2/jwks.

Example

// 20190612140905
// https://localhost:9443/oauth2/jwks
