Jaspersoft Studio lets you trust and manage certificates for connections to JasperReports Server instances over SSL.
Viewing the Certificate
When you create a JasperReports Server connection over SSL, the Server profile wizard automatically detects the https scheme in the URL and displays a icon. To open the Security Certificate dialog and view the security certificate, click . If you do not click Trust, the certificate will be displayed each time you connect to this JasperReports Server instance.
To view the trust store from the Security Certificate dialog, click Show Trust Store.
Adding the Certificate to the Trust Store in Jaspersoft Studio
To add a connection's certificate to the trust store, click Test Connection in the server profile wizard, and then click Trust. This trusts the topmost certificate in the certificate chain.
Setting the SSL Properties
SSL properties, including the location of the trust store, are set at the JVM-level via system properties. This means you can set SSL properties in one of two ways:
| • | in code using System.setProperty |
You can set the following keys for Jaspersoft Studio:
| • | javax.net.ssl.trustStore – Location of the Jaspersoft Studio trust store. On Windows, the specified pathname must use forward slashes, /, in place of backslashes, . Jaspersoft Studio defaults to the internal configuration directory. |
| • | javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword – Password to unlock the trust store. |
| • | javax.net.ssl.trustStoreType (Optional) – Format of the trust store. Defaults to Java keystore file format (JKS). |
| • | javax.net.debug – Debug flag. To enable logging for the SSL/TLS layer, set this property to ssl. |
For more information, see Oracle's documentation for your Java version.
