java:keytool:list-certificates-from-jks

Create keystore jks file

In keystore we want to import:

  • the certificate chain
  • the private key

We can't do this directly in keytool.
A PKCS12 file should be created which then will be imported in keystore.

Create PKCS12 file

Concatenate (manually) all intermediary CA certificates into a single file: all_cert.crt. Then run the above command. The snt.key is the private key of the certificate (the last one in the chain). Enter a password for the p12 file.

openssl pkcs12 -export -in snt_full.crt -inkey snt.key -name snt -out snt.p12

Import the p12 file into a jks file

Replace the password123 with the private key password supplied when it was created.

keytool -importkeystore -deststorepass password123 -destkeystore keystore_custom.jks -srckeystore snt.p12 -srcstoretype PKCS12

Output:

Importing keystore snt.p12 to keystore_custom.jks...
Enter source keystore password:
Entry for alias sentinel successfully imported.
Import command completed:  1 entries successfully imported, 0 entries failed or cancelled

Warning:
The JKS keystore uses a proprietary format. It is recommended to migrate to PKCS12 which is an industry standard format using "keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore keystore_custom.jks -destkeystore keystore_custom.jks -deststoretype pkcs12".

Create truststore jks file

In truststore file we need to import the CA certificates.

keytool -import -alias rootca -file ca.crt -storetype JKS -keystore truststore_custom.jks

Output:

Enter keystore password:

Trust this certificate? [no]:  yes
Certificate was added to keystore

Repeat this for all CA certificates:

keytool -import -alias int1 -file int1.crt -storetype JKS -keystore truststore_custom.jks
keytool -import -alias int2 -file int2.crt -storetype JKS -keystore truststore_custom.jks

Output:

Enter keystore password:
Certificate was added to keystore

List JKS entries (certificates)

keytool.exe -list -rfc -keystore keystore.jks | openssl x509 -text

Output:

  Enter keystore password:  test*
