Adding Keystores to Pico Instances
In order to select a keystore, it has to be added to the pico instance. Mulitple keystores can be added at the same time. This is done using topo by executing the following sequence, assuming the keystore(s) exists:
Add keystore(s) to the pico instance:
$ mzsh topo set --allow-disconnected -l pico:<piconame>/obj:config.properties.security 'keystorePath: "<path_to_ks1;path_to_ks2>"'
Activate the changes:
$ mzsh topo activate
Restart the pico instance:
$ mzsh restart <piconame>
Example - Adding Keystore to Pico Instance
$ mzsh topo set --allow-disconnected -l pico:ec1/obj:config.properties.security 'keystorePath: "/tmp/keys/mykey.keystore"' $ mzsh topo activate $ mzsh restart ec1
