Download Keystore Explorer

I'd say the keytool command-line tool that comes with the JDK. It seems complicated in the beginning, but once you get used to it, it's pretty efficient for managing your keystores, etc.
Setting up secure LDAP (LDAPs) authentication for eDiscovery requires importing a valid certificate or certificate chain into the Java keystore file(s). This process can be daunting if done using the keytool command line interface with certificates provided in various formats and naming conventions. This article provides a method to streamline that process and take out some of the guesswork using an open source tool called KeyStore Explorer..
thanks for your answer. Maybe I set up the trace logging wrongly. Would it be possible for you to specify, exactly how I should set up the extended logging to retrieve the details error message when I try to create a new keystore Alias?
I have managed to make a Java Keystore for my android development platform, but I need to split the keystore into a private key and public key. If I understand correctly, I should be able to split the keystore into files like this:
I used KeyStore Explorer to make my keystore. I have looked this up, but the explanations I find are too vague or are not constructed very well. Is there a way to do this, and if so, can it be done in KeyStore Explorer?
The following tutorial guides you through the steps to generate a keystore file required to build an Android app for submission to the Google Play Store. We will be using the software KeyStore Explorer to generate the keystore file and Headjack to build the Cardboard VR Play Store App. The screenshots in this tutorial were made in Windows, so the steps might look different when following this tutorial on Mac OS X.
keytool -certreq -alias san-cert -keystore letsencrypt.jks -file jks-san-cert_firecube_xyz.csr -storepass test12345 -ext "san=dns:jks-san-cert.firecube.xyz,dns:jks-san-cert1.firecube.xyz,dns:jks-san-cert2.firecube.xyz"
keytool -importcert -alias simple-cert -keystore letsencrypt.jks -storepass test12345 -file .\jks-simple-cert-with-chain.cer
keytool -importcert -alias san-cert -keystore letsencrypt.jks -storepass test12345 -file .\jks-san-cert-with-chain.cer

If a customer is requesting that you assist with the keystore creation process, you can use the KeyStore Explorer tool. The basic steps to create the keystore, CSR and then how to import your signed certificates into the keystore are:
You must use the same password for the keystore and the private key. You can use any string you want for these parameters, but they must both be set to the same value. Follow the steps below if you have no private keys or certificates from a CA and need to create them from scratch. This is the most straightforward option.
Then how to fix keystore in kodular. I did not backup the keystore before this but i already downloaded my apps. Why cant kodular generate new keystore?. Can i use the .pem file from keystore explorer as my keystore in kodular?
First Make sure the project that you are going to update in the Playstore has been exported as .apk in kodular. then, have you got a reply from google to send the .pem file? If it is already,
Download the .keystore file from kodular then use the " keystore explorer"to see the .pem certificate .save it to .pem file and send to google .
When your team is porting game to another engine / technology, it will always encounter some difficulty. One of them is certification. As you can guess, not all game engines / applications use the same certificate format. In our scenario, Unity Game Engine use *.keystore format, but Defold Engine require *.PK8 and *.PEM. How to extract it from the *.keystore file?
You can always use command line to execute cryptographic tasks in java using keytool library or bouncy castle, however for many daily activities like generating CSR files, creating cryptographic keys or managing several keystores or trust stores, you prefer a more friendly tool. This is where KeyStore Explorer fits in.
Thanks for the Quick Reply. Your article got me 75% there. Where i got stuck was using openssl to generate the PFX file. After quite a few failed attempts and after banging my head on the wall for about 2 hrs, I ended up replacing your openssl steps with installing a cert on the server and then used windows to export and create the PFX. I then used Keystore explorer to import the PFX windows made into the keystore following the steps you outlined.
Hi,
I wanted to inquire if you can tell me by following your steps from OP by deleting the keystore then it will recreate a new one. If the new one is recreated, will it have a new self signed time stamp?
Instructions were very straight-forward, but when I replace the original keystore with the modified one (containing my key/cert/int) on startup, that keystore file is overwritten with the self-signed certificate. Any thoughts?
OS, JDK are both supported versions. AD certs are imported into the JDK keystore, JAVA_HOME is set and JDK\bin is in the path... Using the same Base DN as did with WC 12, Bind user CN / PW is good (Used it with LDAP browser to connect to AD)... Can connect to the AD via openssl s_client -connect ADFQDN:636 and it responds with the connection info and cert...
Went back through things... Dunno how I made this mistake... but we have started replacing our jdk trust store to only include out needed certs... Musta misclicked in Keystore Explorer and created my keystore as a JCEKS instead of JKS.
The algorithms you mention should be there by default using the default security providers. NoSuchAlgorithmExceptions are often cause by other underlying exceptions (file not found, wrong password, wrong keystore type, ...). It's useful to look at the full stack trace.
keytool doesn't provide a way to import certificate + private key from a single (combined) file, as proposed above. It runs fine, but only certificate is imported, while private key is ignored. You can check it by keytool -list -v -keystore yourkeystore.jks - yourdomain entry type is TrustedCertEntry, not PrivateKeyEntry.
Official documentation with many applications such as Atlassian Jira, have you use a combination of openssl commands and the keytool command. The keytool command is the command line way to interact with the keystore file. However, the keytool command can be difficult to decipher correct syntax, and I have found many discrepancies between documentation, depending on the source of the documentation as to the correct syntax of keytool. Is there an easy way, or a better way?
Before using Keystore Explorer, we need to do a bit of work on the certificate bundle received from the CA. With Jira and other Tomcat applications that read the keystore, we need to present the server certificate, CA certificate, and private key combined in the keystore. To do that, we can use the OpenSSL command line utility to easily combine the files. This is a command line operation, however, it is the only command line tinkering that we need to do. The command to do what we need is very simple as well. First, you can download the OpenSSL Windows installation here:
Important Rename the current keystore file to have a backup to go back to in case you need to revert the changes or something was not correct in the certificate configuration.
