Generating a Certificate Using the keytool Utility

Use keytool to generate, import, and export certificates. By default, keytool creates a keystore
file in the directory where it is run.

1. Change to the directory where the certificate is to be run.

Always generate the certificate in the directory containing the keystore and truststore files,
by default domain-dir/config. For information on changing the location of these files, see

“Changing the Location of Certificate Files” on page 112

.

2. Enter the following keytool command to generate the certificate in the keystore file,

keystore.jks

:

keytool -genkey -alias

keyAlias-keyalg RSA

-keypass changeit

-storepass changeit

-keystore keystore.jks

Use any unique name as your keyAlias. If you have changed the keystore or private key
password from their default, then substitute the new password for changeit in the above
command. The default key password alias is “s1as.”

A prompt appears that asks for your name, organization, and other information that
keytool

uses to generate the certificate.

3. Enter the following keytool command to export the generated certificate to the file

server.cer

(or client.cer if you prefer):

keytool -export -alias

keyAlias-storepass changeit

-file server.cer

-keystore keystore.jks

4. If a certificate signed by a certificate authority is required, see

“Signing a Digital Certificate

Using the keytool Utility” on page 115

.

5. To create the truststore file cacerts.jks and add the certificate to the truststore, enter the

following keytool command:

keytool -import -v -trustcacerts

-alias

keyAlias

-file server.cer

-keystore cacerts.jks

-keypass changeit
