DER File Path

Load a certificate from a DER file on the filesystem.

Property Required Description
loader.kind ✓ der-file-path
loader.path ✓ Absolute path to DER file

Notes

  • DER is the binary form of PEM (same data, different encoding)
  • Contains a single certificate (no private keys)
  • Common extensions: .der, .cer
  • Trust stores only — DER cannot hold private keys, so it cannot be used as a key store for mTLS

Example

kete.routes.myroute.destination.tls.enabled=true

# Trust store (CA certificate)
kete.routes.myroute.destination.tls.trust-store.loader.kind=der-file-path
kete.routes.myroute.destination.tls.trust-store.loader.path=/certs/ca.der
