Has anyone came across where they have to deal with .truststore file? and knowing how to import .cer into .truststore file?

I am not sure if I have to use Java Keytool or Linux command (such as openssl command).

Thanks

# Copy the certificate into the directory Java_home\Jre\Lib\Security
# Change your directory to Java_home\Jre\Lib\Security>
# Import the certificate to a trust store.

keytool -import -alias ca -file somecert.cer -keystore cacerts -storepass changeit [Return]

Trust this certificate: [Yes]

changeit is the default truststore password
