Importing P12 File

Key Steps

  1. Create a new Keystore.

  2. Empty the Keystore.

  3. Verify if the Keystore is empty.

  4. Import the P12 file.

  5. Check the Keystore is non-empty.

  6. Change the alias, if needed.

  7. Verify a new alias.

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

  1.  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 demokeystore1

  2. Specify the follow-up questions for First and Last name, Organizational unit name, Organization name, City/Locality, State/Province, and Two-letter country code.

  3. Click Yes in the Details confirmation dialog box.

  4. Enter the key password for the provided alias.

  5. Press Enter.

Step 2 - Empty the Keystore

  1. Execute the following command at the Command Prompt:
    keytool -delete -alias <alias name> -keystore <keystore name> Example: keytool -delete -alias demoalias1 -keystore demokeystore1

  2. Enter the password as given in Step 1.

Step 3 - Verify if Keystore is Empty

  1. Execute the following command at the Command Prompt:
    keytool -v -list -keystore <keystre name> Example: keytool -v -list -keystore demokeystore1

  2. Enter password as given in Step 1.
    The response should be "Your keystore contains 0 entries".

Step 4 - Import the P12 file

  1. 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 demoPassword1

  2. Enter the destination Keystore password given in Step 1.

  3. 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

  1. Execute the following command at the Command Prompt:

    keytool -v -list -keystore <keystre name> Example: keytool -v -list -keystore demokeystore1

  2. 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.

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.
