I have to convert a certificate in pem format into an java key store.
To use this one with tomcat at a windows server
I've got those files:
cert_request.csr
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----
...
-----END CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----
cert_public_key.pem
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
...
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
cert_private_key.pem
-----BEGIN ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY-----
...
-----END ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY-----
cert.txt
contains an 16 digit key
I tryed to combine the pem files (by combining the two files were chain together) and converted this with openssl into an
I also tryed to change the
-----BEGIN ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY-----
...
-----END ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY-----
into
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
...
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
and tryed the 3 ways above
what have I to do that I get an working certificate?
EDIT:
I combinied the cert_public_key.pem and the cert_private_key.pem to cert_comb.pem
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
...
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
-----BEGIN ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY-----
...
-----END ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY-----
You aren't clear which files you combined, but it should work to use openssl to combine the cert and private key to a PKCS#12:
cat cert_public_key.pem cert_private_key.pem >combined.pem
openssl pkcs12 -export -in combined.pem -out cert.p12
or on the fly but (update:) the privatekey must be first:
cat cert_private_key.pem cert_public_key.pem | openssl pkcs12 -export -out cert.p12
If your cert needs any chain cert(s) -- the CA should have told you this when you submitted the CSR and they issued the cert -- it's easiest to also include it(them) now.
Then (1) some Java programs can actually use a pkcs12 directly as a keystore, but (2) if you need or prefer a JKS use keytool:
keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore cert.p12 -srcstoretype pkcs12 -destkeystore cert.jks
If you care about the alias in the resulting JKS, easiest to fix it after converting.
Also: just changing the labels in an encrypted PEM doesn't unencrypt it, nor does changing the label from generic PKCS#8 to RSA actually change the data to match (and they are different, though only a little). If you do want a separate PEM file with the decrypted private key:
openssl pkey -in encryptedpk8 -out clearpk8.pem # 1.0.0 up
openssl pkcs8 -in encryptedpk8 -out clearpk8.pem # 1.0.0 up
openssl pkcs8 -topk8 -nocrypt -in encryptedpk8 -out clearpk8.pem # below 1.0.0
openssl rsa -in encryptedpk8 -out clearrsa.pem
