I have tried to execute keytool from Java bin directory but I get an error with warning bash: keytool: command not found.

root@xxxxxx]# keytool -genkey -alias mypassword -keyalg RSA

bash: keytools: command not found

Answer

These are the steps which solved my problem:

Search the path where my java was installed
```
find / -name jre
```
Move to java directory (where jre was installed on my server)
```
cd /path/to/jre/bin
```

Create SSL certificate with keytool command

./keytool -genkey -alias [mypassword] -keyalg [RSA]
