He received a zip from executive IT & digicert. I read through some docs but can't get it to work.

The error is correct. The key is not an X.509. Am I not able to import a private key? Am I totally misunderstanding how this works? I really like Portecle (http://portecle.sourceforge.net/) for manipulating keystore files. Handles all formats, etc. Normally I prefer command line tools, but GUIs are better when the command line tools have a gaggle of undocumented options that are all incompatible with each other and you need a cookbook to actually do anything useful with them. For the record, I don't know how to make keytool add the key after the fact. When I've done it, the output of keytool -genkeypair goes straight into the keystore file. HTH, Matt
