Recall from the Generate Public and Private Keys step that the public key was placed in a PublicKey object named pub. You can get the encoded key bytes by calling the getEncoded method and then store the encoded bytes in a file. You can name the file whatever you want.
{{#eclipseproject:technology.higgins}}1. To generate a keystore, you need a JDK installed with its /bin directory in your path
2. Create a keystore using this command:
keytool will ask you to enter the values for Common Name (CN), Organizational Unit (OU), Oranization(O), Locality (L), State (S) and Country (C). CN should match the domain name of your webapp if you are planning to use this keystore for your servlet container
You can verify keystore contents using this command:
3. Generate the Certificate Signing Request (CSR) using this command:
Submit contents of csr-for-myserver.pem file to your CA for signing
You can get a trial certificate from Thawte at https://www.thawte.com/cgi/server/try.exe
4. Save the signed certificate from CA to a file signed-cert.pem
You can see the contents of the signed certificate using this command:
5. Download Root certificate from CA. You can download Thawte Test Root Certificate from http://www.thawte.com/roots/.
6. Import Root Certificate to keystore using this command:
where root-cert.pem is the Root Certificate from CA
7. Verify contents of keystore using this command:
8. Import CA signed certificate to keystore
9. Verify contents of keystore using this command:
The most important thing you want to see is that, under the private key alias, additional information is being displayed. You're looking for this:
Assume you have an existing .key and .crt from your Apache configuration. /adobe-acrobat-product-key-generator.html.
You do this:
1. You convert the private key into PKCS#8 format:
2. Since the stupid Java keytool doesn't allow you to import private keys, you download this tool:
3. Now you can import the key into the Java Keystore:
4. Now you have the Java Keystore:
5. Delete the tmpfile:
