certificate in jks keystore to be imported in java home

Question

I have to develop a web app that makes calls to web services. I use Jdeveloper for this. I have just a PFX file that I have imported in windows so I can view the WDSL of web service from a browser (Chrome in my case). I get the jks keystore from PFX version using this keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore original.pfx -srcstoretype pkcs12 -destkeystore generated.jks -deststoretype JKS .

Now I have to import this certificate some where in java_home (using keytool or maybe something else) to be used by jdeveloper wizards that access web services to authenticate to web services.

Many thanks, Aurel

Answer 1

Java comes with a default TrustStore which can be found here %JAVA_HOME%/jre/lib/security/cacerts . It is of type JKS and the password to it changeit . If you add the certificate to this file, it is trusted by Java. So be cautious in what Certificates you are trusting.

Answer 2

I used keystore explorer to trasform the PFX type of keystore to JKS .

Then I used this store as truststore for the client ws that is connecting to a self signed server Thanks, Aurel
