I have .p7b file in my local storage (C:\Users\Certs\cert.p7b). This solution is not working for me.
I tried the following.
File file = new File("C:\Users\Certs\cert.p7b");
BufferedInputStream bis = null;
try {
byte[] buffer = new byte[(int) file.length()];
DataInputStream in = new DataInputStream(new FileInputStream(file));
in.readFully(buffer);
in.close();
CertificateFactory certificatefactory = CertificateFactory.getInstance("X.509");
X509Certificate cert = certificatefactory.getCertificate(in);
}catch (Exception e){
System.out.println("Exception");
}
But it is not working. So how can I load this .p7b file and then store it in a keystore.
To read the certificates out of PKCS#7 file, you can use this code snippet:
public static final Certificate[] readCertificatesFromPKCS7(byte[] binaryPKCS7Store) throws Exception
{
try (ByteArrayInputStream bais = new ByteArrayInputStream(binaryPKCS7Store);)
{
CertificateFactory cf = CertificateFactory.getInstance("X.509");
Collection<?> c = cf.generateCertificates(bais);
List<Certificate> certList = new ArrayList<Certificate>();
if (c.isEmpty())
{
// If there are now certificates found, the p7b file is probably not in binary format.
// It may be in base64 format.
// The generateCertificates method only understands raw data.
}
else
{
Iterator<?> i = c.iterator();
while (i.hasNext())
{
certList.add((Certificate) i.next());
}
}
java.security.cert.Certificate[] certArr = new java.security.cert.Certificate[certList.size()];
return certList.toArray(certArr);
}
}
