Import a signed certificate

Prev Next

Import certificate into the keystore, after it is signed by a Certificate Authority (CA).

Important

All CA certificates in the chain of trust, including intermediate certificates (import with aliases: root1, root2, and so on) must be imported into the keystore file that you used to generate the private key and certificate request.

  1. Import CA certificate:

    1. Run the following command:

      keytool -import -alias root1 -file ca.cer -keystore newkeystore

      Note

      Make sure that the CA certificate is included in the file: ca.cer

    2. Type the keystore password: changeit

  2. Import the signed certificate:

    1. Run the following command:

      keytool-import -alias tomcat -file cert.cer -keystorenewkeystore

      Note

      Make sure that the CA certificate is included in the file: cert.cer

    2. Type the keystore password: changeit

The keystore now contains the signed certificate and is ready for installation on the Database Security server.
