Maintaining a certificate store while upgrading Jira

[Christopher D Holcombe Sr_]

I need to upgrade my Jira software from version 8.0 to 8.5.  Before I begin, I want to know if my working (external) certificate store will be maintained during the upgrade, so it will work in the new 8.5 version, or do I need to rebuild it?

I recommend securing Jira with reverse proxy like Apache and not using the JVM which is bundled with Jira.

If you do it that way you can upgrade Jira and you don't have to re-import the certificates.

here you can read how to do that :
