Import PEM into Java Key Store


I am trying to connect to an SSL server which requires me to authenticate myself. In order to use SSL over Apache MINA I need a suitable JKS file. However, I have only been given a .PEM file.

How would I go about creating a JKS file from a PEM file?


Solution

  • First, convert your certificate in a DER format :

    openssl x509 -outform der -in certificate.pem -out certificate.der
    

    And after, import it in the keystore :

    keytool -import -alias your-alias -keystore cacerts -file certificate.der
