Generate a keystore

To generate a keystore, you need a client certificate and a client private key. Get the client certificate and client private key, and then perform the following steps to generate the keystore:

Import the certificate to the following file path:

<Secure Agent installation directory>\jre\lib\security\cacerts

To generate the keystore, run the following command from the command line:

openssl pkcs12 -export -in <Specify client certificate here>
-inkey <Specify client private key here>
-name "<Specify any name here>
" -passout pass:<Specify password for the keystore to be generated>
-out <Specify name for the keystore with p12 extension>

For example,

openssl pkcs12 -export -in /home/samplefolder/certs/client-cert.pem -inkey /home/samplefolder/certs/client-key.pem -name "restclient" -passout pass:PKCSKeyStorePassword -out samplekeystore.p12

In the example, a keystore file by the name samplekeystore.p12
is generated in the PKCS12 format.

To convert the keystore file from .p12 format to .jks format, run the following command from the command line:

keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore <Specify name of the p12 keystore file>
-srcstoretype pkcs12 -srcstorepass <Specify password for generated p12 keystore file>
-destkeystore <Specify name for the JKS keystore file>
-deststoretype JKS -deststorepass <Specify password for the JKS keystore file>

Ensure that the password specified in

-srcstorepass

must be the same as the

-deststorepass

For example,

keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore samplekeystore.p12 -srcstoretype pkcs12 -srcstorepass PKCSKeyStorePassword -destkeystore keystore -deststoretype JKS -deststorepass PKCSKeyStorePassword

In the example, a keystore file is generated by the name samplekeystore
and password PKCSKeyStorePassword
.
