Importing the Certificate Authority File to a Java Keystore

The Certificate Authority (CA) certificate that was used to sign the certificate request as described in the topic Generating the Certificate must be imported to a Java keystore. Use the keytool utility as shown in the following procedure.

To import the certification authority file to the Java keystore

• In keytool, import the CA certificate to the keystore database.

  NOTE:  For enhanced security, create a new keystore database named, for example, trust.keystore and import the CA certificate into this keystore.

• In the following example, the CA certificate cacert.pem is imported to the same keystore that contains the certificate and key, jobmanager.keystore.

  keytool -import -keystore jobmanager.keystore -storepass analytics -alias cacertificates -file cacert.pem
