Fw: [OFBiz] Users - Installing thawte certificates ...

[michael.brohl at agrenon.com]

Hi Ian,

keytool is shipped with the JDK and should be found in JAVA_HOME/bin . If
this is not in your PATH, keytool will not be found.

The alias is a freely chosen name to identify the certificate in the
keystore. As far as I know, the procedure is as follows:

1. create the self signed certificate with a freely chosen name in your
keystore
2. create a certificate sign request and send it to the trust center
3. import an intermediate certificate from the trust center
4. import the trusted certificate with the same alias as used in step 1.

I doubt that it works if you only import the trusted certificate in the
keystore because it can be obtained from anywhere.

Hope that helps.

Mit freundlichem Gruß / Regards

I am having problems trying to work out how to install my Thawte
certificate (I am running Jetty).

The instructions look simple enough

1. Import the Certifcate into the Keystore:
keytool -import -trustcacerts -file [cert_file_name_here] -keystore
[keystore_name_here] -alias [keyentry_name_here]

2. Enable SSL Port:
The SSL Port needs to be enabled on Jetty Java HTTP Servlet Web Server as
well as on any firewall/s or router/s in place.

but I cannot find the command 'keytool' to run and am not sure what is
meant by an alias.  I have enabled the ssl ports (currently we are using
the default certificate which comes with the release but this is
generating warning messages.  I am using cvs from 18 July.

Thanks and best wishes

Ian
