It is also possible to generate self-signed certificates. The next certificate in the chain is one that authenticates the CA's public key. Be very careful to ensure the certificate is valid before importing it as a trusted certificate. All you do is import the new certificate using the same alias as the old one. This name uses the X.500 standard, so it is intended to be unique across the Internet. The user can provide only one part, which means the other part is the same as the current date (or time). Synopsis keytool [commands] commands Commands for keytool include the following: -certreq: Generates a certificate request -changealias: Changes an entry's alias -delete: Deletes an entry Generating the key pair created a self-signed certificate; however, a certificate is more likely to be trusted by others when it is signed by a CA. If the -trustcacerts option was specified, then additional certificates are considered for the chain of trust, namely the certificates in a file named cacerts. If the source entry is protected by a password, then -srcstorepass is used to recover the entry. Whenever the -genkeypair command is called to generate a new public/private key pair, it also wraps the public key into a self-signed certificate. If -srckeypass isnt provided, then the keytool command attempts to use -srcstorepass to recover the entry. If -srcstorepass is not provided or is incorrect, then the user is prompted for a password. Generating a certificate signing request. The certificate chain is one of the following: Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure Certificate and Certificate Revocation List (CRL) Profile. The following are the available options for the -importcert command: {-trustcacerts}: Trust certificates from cacerts, {-protected}: Password is provided through protected mechanism. A password shouldnt be specified on a command line or in a script unless it is for testing purposes, or you are on a secure system. When data is digitally signed, the signature can be verified to check the data integrity and authenticity. Note that the input stream from the -keystore option is passed to the KeyStore.load method. See -genkeypair in Commands. Otherwise, -alias refers to a key entry with an associated certificate chain. The -sigalg value specifies the algorithm that should be used to sign the CSR. To create a PKCS#12 keystore for these tools, always specify a -destkeypass that is the same as -deststorepass. To import an existing certificate signed by your own CA into a PKCS12 keystore using OpenSSL you would execute a command like: Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure Certificate and Certificate Revocation List (CRL) Profile defined a profile on conforming X.509 certificates, which includes what values and value combinations are valid for certificate fields and extensions. Using this certificate implies trusting the entity that signed this certificate. If, besides the -ext honored option, another named or OID -ext option is provided, this extension is added to those already honored. With the keytool command, it is possible to display, import, and export certificates. All items not italicized or in braces ({ }) or brackets ([ ]) are required to appear as is. To install the Entrust Chain/Intermediate Certificate, complete the following steps: 1. Denotes an X.509 certificate extension. Ensure that the displayed certificate fingerprints match the expected ones. If the -v option is specified, then the certificate is printed in human-readable format, with additional information such as the owner, issuer, serial number, and any extensions. A certificate (or public-key certificate) is a digitally signed statement from one entity (the issuer), saying that the public key and some other information of another entity (the subject) has some specific value. The following are the available options for the -delete command: [-alias alias]: Alias name of the entry to process. Requested extensions arent honored by default. Passwords can be specified on the command line in the -storepass and -keypass options. If the -rfc option is specified, then the certificate is output in the printable encoding format. Description. The -keypass option provides a password to protect the imported passphrase. Import the Root certificate 3. If you press the Enter key at the prompt, then the key password is set to the same password as the keystore password. The option can appear multiple times. 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. Below example shows the alias names (in bold ). Entries that cant be imported are skipped and a warning is displayed. certificate.p7b is the actual name/path to your certificate file. However, the trust into the root's public key doesnt come from the root certificate itself, but from other sources such as a newspaper. Use the -genkeypair command to generate a key pair (a public key and associated private key). This file can then be assigned or installed to a server and used for SSL/TLS connections. If the chain ends with a self-signed root CA certificate and the -trustcacerts option was specified, the keytool command attempts to match it with any of the trusted certificates in the keystore or the cacerts keystore file. Inside each subvalue, the plus sign (+) means shift forward, and the minus sign (-) means shift backward. The -keyalg value specifies the algorithm to be used to generate the key pair, and the -keysize value specifies the size of each key to be generated. If there is no file, then the request is read from the standard input. 1. The following line of code creates an instance of the default keystore type as specified in the keystore.type property: The default keystore type is pkcs12, which is a cross-platform keystore based on the RSA PKCS12 Personal Information Exchange Syntax Standard. The keytool command can import X.509 v1, v2, and v3 certificates, and PKCS#7 formatted certificate chains consisting of certificates of that type. In JDK 9 and later, the default keystore implementation is PKCS12. The passphrase may be supplied via the standard input stream; otherwise the user is prompted for it. {-addprovider name [-providerarg arg]}: Add security provider by name (such as SunPKCS11) with an optional configure argument. Certificates were invented as a solution to this public key distribution problem. Only when the fingerprints are equal is it guaranteed that the certificate wasnt replaced in transit with somebody else's certificate such as an attacker's certificate. The -gencert option enables you to create certificate chains. Example. The keytool command doesnt enforce all of these rules so it can generate certificates that dont conform to the standard, such as self-signed certificates that would be used for internal testing purposes. The value of -keyalg specifies the algorithm to be used to generate the secret key, and the value of -keysize specifies the size of the key that is generated. In the following sections, we're going to go through different functionalities of this utility. keytool -genkeypair -alias <alias> -keypass <keypass> -validity <validity> -storepass <storepass>. Option values must be enclosed in quotation marks when they contain a blank (space). The CA trust store location. For example, when a certificate is revoked its serial number is placed in a Certificate Revocation List (CRL). Most commands that operate on a keystore require the store password. The keytool command can import and export v1, v2, and v3 certificates. This imports all entries from the source keystore, including keys and certificates, to the destination keystore with a single command. To view a list of currently installed certificates, open a command prompt and run the following command from the bin directory of the JRE. The CA generates the crl file. Private and public keys exist in pairs in all public key cryptography systems (also referred to as public key crypto systems). Specify this value as true when a password must be specified by way of a protected authentication path, such as a dedicated PIN reader. When you dont specify a required password option on a command line, you are prompted for it. After importing the certificate reply, you may want to remove the initial key entry that used your old distinguished name: Delete a certificate using the following command format: keytool -delete -alias keyAlias-keystore keystore-name-storepass password Example 11-17 Deleting a Certificate From a JKS Keystore Solution 1. With the certificate and the signed JAR file, a client can use the jarsigner command to authenticate your signature. If -alias refers to a trusted certificate, then that certificate is output. Copy your certificate to a file named myname.cer by entering the following command: In this example, the entry has an alias of mykey. You will use the Keytool application and list all of the certificates in the Keystore. It implements the keystore as a file with a proprietary keystore type (format) named JKS. If the keytool command cant recover the private keys or secret keys from the source keystore, then it prompts you for a password. In this case, no options are required, and the defaults are used for unspecified options that have default values. When a file is not specified, the certificate is output to stdout. These are the only modules included in JDK that need a configuration, and therefore the most widely used with the -providerclass option. The :critical modifier, when provided, means the extension's isCritical attribute is true; otherwise, it is false. 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. Select the Edit Certificate Chain sub-menu from the pop-up menu and from there choose Remove Certificate. When a port is not specified, the standard HTTPS port 443 is assumed. keytool -importcert -alias myserverkey -file myserverkey.der -storetype JCEKS -keystore mystore.jck -storepass mystorepass keytool will attempt to verify the signer of the certificate which you are trying to import. Options for each command can be provided in any order. The following are the available options for the -printcrl command: Use the -printcrl command to read the Certificate Revocation List (CRL) from -file crl . For a list of possible interpreter options, enter java -h or java -X at the command line. You can also run your own Certification Authority using products such as Microsoft Certificate Server or the Entrust CA product for your organization. Certificates are used to secure transport-layer traffic (node-to-node communication within your cluster) and REST-layer traffic (communication between a client and a node within your cluster). If you access a Bing Maps API from a Java application via SSL and you do not . stateName: State or province name. Use the -importcert command to import the response from the CA. Used with the -addprovider or -providerclass option to represent an optional string input argument for the constructor of class name. The keytool command also enables users to cache the public keys (in the form of certificates) of their communicating peers. Other than standard hexadecimal numbers (0-9, a-f, A-F), any extra characters are ignored in the HEX string. The value of -startdate specifies the issue time of the certificate, also known as the "Not Before" value of the X.509 certificate's Validity field. This example specifies an initial passwd required by subsequent commands to access the private key associated with the alias duke. Use the -storepasswd command to change the password used to protect the integrity of the keystore contents. If this attempt fails, then the keytool command prompts you for the private/secret key password. Issuer name: The X.500 Distinguished Name of the entity that signed the certificate. The keytool command stores the keys and certificates in a keystore. See Commands and Options for a description of these commands with their options. The value argument, when provided, denotes the argument for the extension. 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. If -srcstorepass is not provided or is incorrect, then the user is prompted for a password. The first certificate in the chain contains the public key that corresponds to the private key. A special name honored, used only in -gencert, denotes how the extensions included in the certificate request should be honored. Each certificate in the chain (after the first) authenticates the public key of the signer of the previous certificate in the chain. Error: ==== This step requires Vault Admin credentials using CyberArk authentication, and a restart of PTA services. If it detects alias duplication, then it asks you for a new alias, and you can specify a new alias or simply allow the keytool command to overwrite the existing one. In this case, the certificate chain must be established from trusted certificate information already stored in the keystore. From the keytool man - it imports certificate chain, if input is given in PKCS#7 format, otherwise only the single certificate is imported. For example, CN, cn, and Cn are all treated the same. The value is a concatenation of a sequence of subvalues. You are prompted for any required values. Existing entries are overwritten with the destination alias name. 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. For the certificate chain to be verifiable, you may need to add the CA certificate and intermediate certificates to the AWS CloudHSM key store. 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. country: Two-letter country code. 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. Java Keytool is a key and certificate management tool that is used to manipulate Java Keystores, and is included with Java. See the -certreq command in Commands for Generating a Certificate Request. If the alias doesnt point to a key entry, then the keytool command assumes you are adding a trusted certificate entry. The following terms are related to certificates: Public Keys: These are numbers associated with a particular entity, and are intended to be known to everyone who needs to have trusted interactions with that entity. I mport the certificate chain by using the following command: keytool -importcert -keystore $CATALINA_HOME/conf/keystore.p12 -trustcacerts -alias tomcat -keypass <truststore_password> -storepass <truststore_password> -file <certificatefilename> -storetype PKCS12 -providername JsafeJCE -keyalg RSA Copy Commands for Generating a Certificate Request. The names arent case-sensitive. For example, most third-party tools require storepass and keypass in a PKCS #12 keystore to be the same. The keytool command supports the following subparts: organizationUnit: The small organization (such as department or division) name. You can use :c in place of :critical. Subject name: The name of the entity whose public key the certificate identifies. The -keypass value must contain at least six characters. If the source entry is protected by a password, then -srckeypass is used to recover the entry. This period is described by a start date and time and an end date and time, and can be as short as a few seconds or almost as long as a century. To Delete a Certificate by Using keytool Use the keytool -deletecommand to delete an existing certificate. {-protected}: Password provided through a protected mechanism.
