Creating a KeyStore in JKS Format

Jul 09, 2019  The Private Key is generated with your Certificate Signing Request (CSR). The CSR is submitted to the Certificate Authority right after you activate your Certificate. The Private Key must be kept safe and secret on your server or device, because later you’ll need it for Certificate installation.

This section explains how to create a KeyStore using theJKS format as the database format for both the private key, and theassociated certificate or certificate chain. By default, as specifiedin the java.security file, keytool usesJKS as the format of the key and certificate databases (KeyStore andTrustStores). A CA must sign the certificate signing request (CSR).The CA is therefore trusted by the server-side application to whichthe Adapter is connected.

Itis recommended to use the default KeyStore

where <c:JavaCAPS> isthe directory where Java CAPS is installed and <MyDomain> isthe name of your domain.

To Generate a KeyStore

Generate Keystore Java

1. Perform the following command.

2. Once prompted, enter the information required to generatea CSR. A sample key generation section follows.

   If the KeyStore password is specified, then the password mustbe provided for the adapter.

3. Press RETURN when prompted for the key password (thisaction makes the key password the same as the KeyStore password).

   This operation creates a KeyStore file clientkeystore in the current working directory. You must specify a fullyqualified domain for the “first and last name” question.The reason for this use is that some CAs such as VeriSign expect thisproperties to be a fully qualified domain name.

   Thereare CAs that do not require the fully qualified domain, but it isrecommended to use the fully qualified domain name for the sake ofportability. All the other information given must be valid. If theinformation cannot be validated, a CA such as VeriSign does not signa generated CSR for this entry.

   This KeyStore containsan entry with an alias of client.This entry consists of the generated private key and information neededfor generating a CSR as follows:

   This command generates a certificate signing request which canbe provided to a CA for a certificate request. The file client.csr contains the CSR in PEM format.

   Some CA (one trusted by the web server to which the adapteris connecting) must sign the CSR. The CA generates a certificate forthe corresponding CSR and signs the certificate with its private key.For more information, visit the following web sites:

   or

   If the certificate is chained with the CA’scertificate, perform step 4; otherwise, perform step 5 in the followinglist:

4. Perform the following command.

   The command imports the certificate and assumes the client certificateis in the file client.cer and theCA’s certificate is in the file CARoot.cer.

5. Perform the following command to import the CA’scertificate into the KeyStore for chaining with the client’scertificate.

6. Perform the following command to import the client’scertificate signed by the CA whose certificate was imported in thepreceding step.

   The generated file clientkeystore2fa key fob number generator. containsthe client’s private key and the associated certificate chainused for client authentication and signing. The KeyStore and/or clientkeystore, can then be used as the adapter’sKeyStore.
