When you are working with JAVA applications and JAVA based server, you may need to configure a Java key store (JKS) file. Self signed keystore can be easily created with keytool command. But if you have a private key and a CA signedcertificate of it, You can not create a key store with just one keytool command.
You need the corresponding.key file to use the certificate. As Zoredache said the entire point of public key cryptography is that you have two parts: A public half (.cert file) which encrypts data, and a private half (.key file) which lets you decrypt it again. Creating a KeyStore in JKS Format. This section explains how to create a KeyStore using the JKS format as the database format for both the private key, and the associated certificate or certificate chain. By default, as specified in the java.security file, keytool uses JKS as the format of the key and certificate databases (KeyStore. A.pem file is a container format that may just include the public certificate or the entire certificate chain (private key, public key, root certificates): Private Key; Server Certificate (crt, puplic key) (optional) Intermediate CA and/or bundles if signed by a 3rd party; How to create a self-signed PEM file.
You need to go through following to get it done.
.key File Converter
Step 1. Create PKCS 12 file using your private key and CA signed certificate of it. You can use openssl command for this.
![]()
If your private key has a password, It would promote to enter the password of private key. You need to define a password for PKCS 12 file as well.
Key File To Ppt
As an example, say i have a private key called “server.pem” and certificate with “servercret.pem”
Step 2. Create JKS file using keytool command
Created PKCS 12 file has been given as the source keystore and new file name (wso2carbon.jks) has been given as the destination keystore.
Openssl generate public key der. As an example,
As an additional steps, you can change the private key password of the created JKS file and also the alias name for your private key entry.
Step 3 (Optional). Changing the password of private key file in keystore. More details from here as well

Step 4 (Optional). Change the alias name of the private key entry
Generate Key File From Cer To Der
By default [current alias] is set to “1”
