Hi All,
I'm attempting to assist a former coworker but have little experience with Java and the jvm keytool.
He has to admin a java app (jira) running on ubuntu and needs to change the SSL from one for that specific server to one for them all. He received a zip from executive IT & digicert. I read through some docs but can't get it to work. I know there's at least one java guru on the list.
Here's what I tried.
$JAVA_HOME/keytool -import -alias alias1 -keystore /somepath/jira.jks -file /someotherpath/DigiCertCA.crt
$JAVA_HOME/keytool -import -alias alias2 -keystore /somepath/jira.jks -file /someotherpath/star.crt
$JAVA_HOME/keytool -import -alias privateKey -keystore /somepath/jira.jks -file /someotherpath/star.key
The first two imported without issue. The last one returned:
keytool error: java.lang.Exception: Input not an X.509 certificate
Unfortunately google is flooded with this error and I'm not finding a solution that helps. 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?
