    key size
    1024 (default)

  6. Repeat step 4 and 5 to create trust file "mytrustfile.jks".
    The HCL Commerce configuration file should look like this:
    <store enabled="true" storeId="10001"> 
       <configuration 
          transmitClassName="com.ibm.commerce.bi.events.transmit.CMWebServiceTransmitter"

          sslKeyPassphrase="ssl4you"  
          sslKeyStore="/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/demo/etc/mykeyfile.jks"  
          sslTrustPassphrase="ssl4you"  
          sslTrustStore="/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/demo/etc/mytrustfile.jks"  />
