Importing P12 File
Key Steps
To perform the above steps, open a Command Prompt window. The steps along with the requisite syntax are described in detail below:
Step 1 - Create New Keystore
Execute the following command at the Command Prompt.
keytool -genkey -alias <some alias> -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -keystore <keystore name> Example: keytool -genkey -alias demoalias1 -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -keystore demokeystore1Specify the follow-up questions for First and Last name, Organizational unit name, Organization name, City/Locality, State/Province, and Two-letter country code.
Click Yes in the Details confirmation dialog box.
Enter the key password for the provided alias.
Press Enter.
The same key password will be used in the subsequent steps.
Step 2 - Empty the Keystore
Execute the following command at the Command Prompt:
keytool -delete -alias <alias name> -keystore <keystore name> Example: keytool -delete -alias demoalias1 -keystore demokeystore1Enter the password as given in Step 1.
Step 3 - Verify if Keystore is Empty
Execute the following command at the Command Prompt:
keytool -v -list -keystore <keystre name> Example: keytool -v -list -keystore demokeystore1Enter password as given in Step 1.
The response should be "Your keystore contains 0 entries".
Step 4 - Import the P12 file
Execute the following command at the Command Prompt:
keytool -v -importkeystore -srckeystore <p12file.p12> -srcstoretype PKCS12 -destkeystore <keystore name> -deststoretype JKS -destkeypass <password for private key (should be same as keystore passphrase)> Example: keytool -v -importkeystore -srckeystore sample_p12_file.p12 -srcstoretype PKCS12 -destkeystore demokeystore1 -deststoretype JKS -destkeypass demoPassword1Enter the destination Keystore password given in Step 1.
Enter the source Keystore password that was obtained while generating P12 file.
The response should be "Import command completed: 1 entries successfully imported, 0 entries failed or canceled".
Step 5 - Check Keystore to be Non-empty
Execute the following command at the Command Prompt:
keytool -v -list -keystore <keystre name> Example: keytool -v -list -keystore demokeystore1
Enter password as given in Step 1. The response should show:
Keystore type: JKS
Keystore provider: SUN
Your keystore contains 1 entry
Alias name: privatekey
Creation date: 12 Oct, 2017
Entry type: PrivateKeyEntry
The Keystore is ready with one entry having a private key imported from the P12 file. The alias for that private key is privatekey.
Steps 6 & 7 are needed if you want to change the alias for the imported private key.
Step 6 - Change Alias if needed
Execute the following command at the Command Prompt:
keytool -changealias -keystore <keystore name> -alias <current alias> -destalias <new alias> Example: keytool -changealias -keystore demokeystore1 -alias privatekey -destalias first_entry |
The response will be blank if the change is successful.
Step 7 - Verify New Alias
Repeat Step 5 and ensure the alias name is what is given in Step 6. The Keystore "demokeystore1" is ready to be used in the snaps with the passphrase given in Step 1.
