Using some batch file, I want to add the untrusted self signed certificate within Java Keystore.

Command is

%JAVA_HOME%/bin/keytool -import -v -trustcacerts -alias server-alias
-file server.cer -keystore cacerts.jks -keypass changeit -storepass changeit

After running above command, the screen promts for Trust of certificate using Y/N.

Trust this certificate? [no]:

But I don't want to provide Y/N here.

Is there a way to complete the import using a single command or some additional import switch if any?

The option -noprompt doesn't prompt the input Y/N from a user and assumes yes.

More details can found by running command keytool -importcert -help on terminal.
