使用密钥文件将.pem转换为jks

Question

i am trying to convert .pem file to .jks but i am unable to do it. the cert.pem has passphrase only but not any key file.

i tried this:

openssl pkcs12 -export -nokeys -in cert.pem -out cert.p12

keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore cert.p12 -srcstoretype pkcs12 -srcstorepass login1 -destkeystore trustStore.jks

and i got :

Import command completed: 0 entries successfully imported, 0 entries failed or cancelled .

and created trustStore.jks is empty.

how to do it?

Answer 1

When you have a certificate file (.pem file), you usually add it to a keystore, but not convert it.

In order to add a certificate to a keystore (new/existing), you can run this keytool command:

keytool -importcert -keystore "KEYSTORE_FILE" -storepass "KEYSTORE_PASSWORD" -file "CERTIFICATE_FILE" -alias "CERTIFICATE_ALIAS"
