Copy and paste the Entrust chain certificate including the -----BEGIN----- and -----END----- tags into a text editor such as Notepad. If a trust chain cant be established, then the certificate reply isnt imported. In some systems, the identity is the public key, and in others it can be anything from an Oracle Solaris UID to an email address to an X.509 distinguished name. Save the file with a .cer extension (for example, chain.cer) or you can just simply click the Chain cert file button on the . When the option isnt provided, the start date is the current time. The hour should always be provided in 24hour format. The keytool command stores the keys and certificates in a keystore. keytool -importcert -alias old_cert_alias -file new_cert_file.cer -keystore your_key_store.jks. Example. Most commands that operate on a keystore require the store password. You can use a subset, for example: If a distinguished name string value contains a comma, then the comma must be escaped by a backslash (\) character when you specify the string on a command line, as in: It is never necessary to specify a distinguished name string on a command line. Read Common Command Options for the grammar of -ext. The -sigalg value specifies the algorithm that should be used to sign the CSR. It is your responsibility to verify the trusted root CA certificates bundled in the cacerts file and make your own trust decisions. If such an attack takes place, and you didnt check the certificate before you imported it, then you would be trusting anything that the attacker signed. Ensure that the displayed certificate fingerprints match the expected ones. Import the Intermediate certificate 4. If the -v option is specified, then the certificate is printed in human-readable format. {-addprovider name [-providerarg arg]}: Adds a security provider by name (such as SunPKCS11) with an optional configure argument. For the certificate chain to be verifiable, you may need to add the CA certificate and intermediate certificates to the AWS CloudHSM key store. The -keypass value must contain at least six characters. Extensions can be marked critical to indicate that the extension should be checked and enforced or used. The keytool command supports the following subparts: organizationUnit: The small organization (such as department or division) name. For legacy security providers located on classpath and loaded by reflection, -providerclass should still be used. When len is omitted, the resulting value is ca:true. When value is omitted, the default value of the extension or the extension itself requires no argument. keytool -certreq -alias <cert_alias> -file <CSR.csr> -keystore <keystore_name.jks>. In the latter case, the encoding must be bounded at the beginning by a string that starts with -----BEGIN, and bounded at the end by a string that starts with -----END. In that case, the first certificate in the chain is returned. The only exception is that if -help is provided along with another command, keytool will print out a detailed help for that command. The entry is called a trusted certificate because the keystore owner trusts that the public key in the certificate belongs to the identity identified by the subject (owner) of the certificate. If the keytool command cant recover the private keys or secret keys from the source keystore, then it prompts you for a password. You are prompted for any required values. X.509 Version 3 is the most recent (1996) and supports the notion of extensions where anyone can define an extension and include it in the certificate. Braces surrounding an option signify that a default value is used when the option isnt specified on the command line. It treats the keystore location that is passed to it at the command line as a file name and converts it to a FileInputStream, from which it loads the keystore information. In most cases, we use a keystore and a truststore when our application needs to communicate over SSL/TLS. Keytool is a certificate management utility included with Java. If it exists we get an error: keytool error: java.lang.Exception . keytool -genkeypair -alias <alias> -keypass <keypass> -validity <validity> -storepass <storepass>. The command uses the default SHA256withDSA signature algorithm to create a self-signed certificate that includes the public key and the distinguished name information. keytool - a key and certificate management utility Synopsis keytool[commands] commands Commands for keytoolinclude the following: -certreq: Generates a certificate request -changealias: Changes an entry's alias -delete: Deletes an entry -exportcert: Exports certificate -genkeypair: Generates a key pair -genseckey: Generates a secret key The following are the available options for the -importcert command: {-trustcacerts}: Trust certificates from cacerts, {-protected}: Password is provided through protected mechanism. If the -noprompt option is specified, then there is no interaction with the user. The private key is assigned the password specified by -keypass. NONE should be specified if the keystore isnt file-based. If a destination alias is not provided, then the command prompts you for one. Dec 10, 2014 at 13:42 Keytool doesn't work like this, and doesn't allow you to import an alias more than once as described. The 3 files I need are as follows (in PEM format): an unecrypted key file a client certificate file a CA certificate file (root and all intermediate) This is a common task I have to perform, so I'm looking for a way to do this without any manual editing of the output. 1 keytool -gencert -keystore test.jks -storepass password -alias ca -infile leaf.csr -outfile leaf.cer An output certificate file l eaf.cer will be created. The X.509 standard defines what information can go into a certificate and describes how to write it down (the data format). The CA trust store location. When a file is not specified, the certificate is output to stdout. Console. Using this certificate implies trusting the entity that signed this certificate. When not provided at the command line, the user is prompted for the alias. When a port is not specified, the standard HTTPS port 443 is assumed. The following example creates a certificate, e1, that contains three certificates in its certificate chain. These options can appear for all commands operating on a keystore: This qualifier specifies the type of keystore to be instantiated. Importing Certificates in a Chain Separately. The time to be shifted is nnn units of years, months, days, hours, minutes, or seconds (denoted by a single character of y, m, d, H, M, or S respectively). If it is signed by another CA, you need a certificate that authenticates that CA's public key. If -destkeypass isnt provided, then the destination entry is protected with the source entry password. The certificate reply and the hierarchy of certificates is used to authenticate the certificate reply from the new certificate chain of aliases. The issuer of the certificate vouches for this, by signing the certificate. They dont have any default values. The following are the available options for the -certreq command: {-addprovider name [-providerarg arg]}: Add security provider by name (such as SunPKCS11) with an optional configure argument. {-addprovider name [-providerarg arg]}: Add security provider by name (such as SunPKCS11) with an optional configure argument. Import a root or intermediate CA certificate to an existing Java keystore: keytool -import -trustcacerts - alias root - file ca_geotrust_global.pem -keystore yourkeystore.jks keytool -import -trustcacerts - alias root - file . Commands for Generating a Certificate Request. To Delete a Certificate by Using keytool Use the keytool -deletecommand to delete an existing certificate. Constructed when the CA reply is a single certificate. For example, Purchasing. Open an Administrator command prompt. See -genkeypair in Commands. The private key associated with alias is used to create the PKCS #10 certificate request. If you have a java keystore, use the following command. The value for this name is a comma-separated list of all (all requested extensions are honored), name{:[critical|non-critical]} (the named extension is honored, but it uses a different isCritical attribute), and -name (used with all, denotes an exception). Existing entries are overwritten with the destination alias name. If you later want to change Duke's private key password, use a command such as the following: This changes the initial passwd to newpasswd. This means constructing a certificate chain from the imported certificate to some other trusted certificate. If a single-valued option is provided multiple times, the value of the last one is used. If the -noprompt option is provided, then the user isnt prompted for a new destination alias. The following examples show the defaults for various option values: When generating a certificate or a certificate request, the default signature algorithm (-sigalg option) is derived from the algorithm of the underlying private key to provide an appropriate level of security strength as follows: To improve out of the box security, default key size and signature algorithm names are periodically updated to stronger values with each release of the JDK. This certificate chain and the private key are stored in a new keystore entry identified by alias. Both reply formats can be handled by the keytool command. 1 keytool -certreq -keystore test.jks -storepass password -alias leaf -file leaf.csr Now creating the certificate with the certificate request generated above. If the certificate isnt found and the -noprompt option isnt specified, the information of the last certificate in the chain is printed, and the user is prompted to verify it. The top-level (root) CA certificate is self-signed. file: Retrieve the password from the file named argument. How do request a SSL cert for reissuing if we lost the private key? The -exportcert command by default outputs a certificate in binary encoding, but will instead output a certificate in the printable encoding format, when the -rfc option is specified. This is typically a CA. The cacerts file should contain only certificates of the CAs you trust. The password value must contain at least six characters. Java Keystore files associate each certificate with a unique alias. When there is no value, the extension has an empty value field. If you dont explicitly specify a keystore type, then the tools choose a keystore implementation based on the value of the keystore.type property specified in the security properties file. The CA generates the crl file. The validity period chosen depends on a number of factors, such as the strength of the private key used to sign the certificate, or the amount one is willing to pay for a certificate. If a password is not specified, then the integrity of the retrieved information cant be verified and a warning is displayed. The startdate argument is the start time and date that the certificate is valid. The keytool command works on any file-based keystore implementation. Returned by the CA when the CA reply is a chain. You should be able to convert certificates to PKCS#7 format with openssl, via openssl crl2pkcs7 command. To remove a certificate from the end of a Key Pair's Certificate Chain: Right-click on the Key Pair entry in the KeyStore Entries table. All you do is import the new certificate using the same alias as the old one. The command is significantly shorter when the option defaults are accepted. The -help command is the default. The CA authenticates the certificate requestor (usually offline) and returns a certificate or certificate chain to replace the existing certificate chain (initially a self-signed certificate) in the keystore. This entry is placed in your home directory in a keystore named .keystore . 2. Alternatively, you can use the -keysize or -sigalg options to override the default values at your own risk. Commands for keytool include the following: -certreq: Generates a certificate request, -gencert: Generates a certificate from a certificate request, -importcert: Imports a certificate or a certificate chain, -importkeystore: Imports one or all entries from another keystore, -keypasswd: Changes the key password of an entry, -printcert: Prints the content of a certificate, -printcertreq: Prints the content of a certificate request, -printcrl: Prints the content of a Certificate Revocation List (CRL) file, -storepasswd: Changes the store password of a keystore. Make sure that the displayed certificate fingerprints match the expected fingerprints. Applications can choose different types of keystore implementations from different providers, using the getInstance factory method supplied in the KeyStore class. Subsequent keytool commands must use this same alias to refer to the entity. Public keys are used to verify signatures. A CRL is a list of the digital certificates that were revoked by the CA that issued them. If you trust that the certificate is valid, then you can add it to your keystore by entering the following command: This command creates a trusted certificate entry in the keystore from the data in the CA certificate file and assigns the values of the alias to the entry. Keystore implementations of different types arent compatible. Entity: An entity is a person, organization, program, computer, business, bank, or something else you are trusting to some degree. Items in italics (option values) represent the actual values that must be supplied. Where: tomcat is the actual alias of your keystore. The rest of the examples assume that you executed the -genkeypair command without specifying options, and that you responded to the prompts with values equal to those specified in the first -genkeypair command. Ensure that the displayed certificate fingerprints match the expected ones. Public key cryptography requires access to users' public keys. keytool -list -v -keystore new.keystore -storepass keystorepw If it imported properly, you should see the full certificate chain here. Now, log in to the Cloudways Platform. The user must provide the exact number of digits shown in the format definition (padding with 0 when shorter). The -dname value specifies the X.500 Distinguished Name to be associated with the value of -alias, and is used as the issuer and subject fields in the self-signed certificate. The KeyStore class provided in the java.security package supplies well-defined interfaces to access and modify the information in a keystore. The following are the available options for the -genseckey command: {-providerclass class [-providerarg arg]}: Add security provider by fully qualified class name with an optional configure argument. Import the Root certificate 3. The following are the available options for the -list command: {-providerclass class [-providerarg arg] }: Add security provider by fully qualified class name with an optional configure argument. The keytool command can handle both types of entries, while the jarsigner tool only handles the latter type of entry, that is private keys and their associated certificate chains. When-rfc is specified, the keytool command prints the certificate in PEM mode as defined by the Internet RFC 1421 Certificate Encoding standard. For example, the issue time can be specified by: With the second form, the user sets the exact issue time in two parts, year/month/day and hour:minute:second (using the local time zone). The passphrase may be supplied via the standard input stream; otherwise the user is prompted for it. localityName: The locality (city) name. Most certificate profile documents strongly recommend that names not be reused and that certificates shouldnt make use of unique identifiers. Otherwise, the one from the certificate request is used. If you do not specify -destkeystore when using the keytool -importkeystore command, then the default keystore used is $HOME/.keystore. This information is used in numerous ways. The type of import is indicated by the value of the -alias option. The usage values are case-sensitive. Unlike an SSL certificate that you purchase, a self-signed certificate is only used for development/testing purposes to use a secure connection. At the bottom of the chain is the certificate (reply) issued by the CA authenticating the subject's public key. In this case, a comma doesnt need to be escaped by a backslash (\). Remember to separate the password option and the modifier with a colon (:). keytool -list -keystore ..\lib\security\cacerts. You can then stop the import operation. The next certificate in the chain is a certificate that authenticates the second CA's key, and so on, until a self-signed root certificate is reached. The -sigalg value specifies the algorithm that should be used to sign the self-signed certificate. The keytool command also enables users to cache the public keys (in the form of certificates) of their communicating peers. The default format used for these files is JKS until Java 8.. To provide a keystore implementation, clients must implement a provider and supply a KeystoreSpi subclass implementation, as described in Steps to Implement and Integrate a Provider. First, convert the keystore from JKS to PKCS12 (this and other commands will require password entry): keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore old.jks -destkeystore old.p12 -deststoretype pkcs12 Next, export a PEM file with key and certs from the PKCS12 file: openssl pkcs12 -in old.p12 -out pemfile.pem -nodes Commands for Creating or Adding Data to the Keystore: Commands for Importing Contents from Another Keystore: Commands for Generating a Certificate Request: Commands for Creating or Adding Data to the Keystore. Use the -exportcert command to read a certificate from the keystore that is associated with -alias alias and store it in the cert_file file. If the certificate reply is a single certificate, then you need a certificate for the issuing CA (the one that signed it). A keystore is a storage facility for cryptographic keys and certificates. Use the -importcert command to read the certificate or certificate chain (where the latter is supplied in a PKCS#7 formatted reply or in a sequence of X.509 certificates) from -file file, and store it in the keystore entry identified by -alias. Signature: A signature is computed over some data using the private key of an entity. Before you add the certificate to the keystore, the keytool command verifies it by attempting to construct a chain of trust from that certificate to a self-signed certificate (belonging to a root CA), using trusted certificates that are already available in the keystore. You use the keytool command and options to manage a keystore (database) of cryptographic keys, X.509 certificate chains, and trusted certificates. If the keytool command fails to establish a trust path from the certificate to be imported up to a self-signed certificate (either from the keystore or the cacerts file), then the certificate information is printed, and the user is prompted to verify it by comparing the displayed certificate fingerprints with the fingerprints obtained from some other (trusted) source of information, which might be the certificate owner. For example, CH. The user can provide only one part, which means the other part is the same as the current date (or time). All keystore entries (key and trusted certificate entries) are accessed by way of unique aliases. For the -keypass option, if you dont specify the option on the command line, then the keytool command first attempts to use the keystore password to recover the private/secret key. The value is a concatenation of a sequence of subvalues. Because there are two keystores involved in the -importkeystore command, the following two options, -srcprotected and -destprotected, are provided for the source keystore and the destination keystore respectively. If -srckeypass isnt provided, then the keytool command attempts to use -srcstorepass to recover the entry. The value argument, when provided, denotes the argument for the extension. Convert a DER-formatted certificate called local-ca.der to PEM form like this: $ sudo openssl x509 -inform der -outform pem -in local-ca.der -out local-ca.crt. An error is reported if the -keystore or -storetype option is used with the -cacerts option. method:location-type:location-value (,method:location-type:location-value)*. Keystore implementations are provider-based. The following commands creates four key pairs named ca, ca1, ca2, and e1: The following two commands create a chain of signed certificates; ca signs ca1 and ca1 signs ca2, all of which are self-issued: The following command creates the certificate e1 and stores it in the e1.cert file, which is signed by ca2. For example, when the keystore resides on a hardware token device. Wraps the public key in an X.509 v3 self-signed certificate, which is stored as a single-element certificate chain. A special name honored, used only in -gencert, denotes how the extensions included in the certificate request should be honored. How to remove and install the root certs? The following are the available options for the -printcrl command: Use the -printcrl command to read the Certificate Revocation List (CRL) from -file crl . After importing the certificate reply, you may want to remove the initial key entry that used your old distinguished name: The new password is set by -new arg and must contain at least six characters. The following are the available options for the -importkeystore command: {-srckeystore keystore}: Source keystore name, {-destkeystore keystore}: Destination keystore name, {-srcstoretype type}: Source keystore type, {-deststoretype type}: Destination keystore type, [-srcstorepass arg]: Source keystore password, [-deststorepass arg]: Destination keystore password, {-srcprotected Source keystore password protected, {-destprotected}: Destination keystore password protected, {-srcprovidername name}: Source keystore provider name, {-destprovidername name}: Destination keystore provider name, [-destkeypass arg]: Destination key password, {-providerclass class [-providerarg arg]}: Add security provider by fully qualified class name with an optional configure argument.
