I have a authorized .cert file from popular CA and corresponding private key file(.key). How can I manually configure or import into gretty server? I saw the steps which describes via keystore format . Is there any other direct import way like other web server does?

The SSL/TLS layers in Java are implemented in Java, they don't use openssl or any other library that typically supports .cert and .key files.

Java uses the keystore format for all things related to security certificates, you'll have to create/import those .cert and .key files into a valid keystore file before you can use those certificates in a Java project that uses SSL/TLS.

  • Yes thanks. So now I already have a CA authorized cert and key file, should I need to import into keystore format or my CA provider can give as a required format? – Sathiya Vasagam S Nov 03 '16 at 04:49
