I am trying to create a JKS file from existing private key and certificate and currently following the steps mentioned in this documentation.
I was able to generate PKCS12 file using the private key (which is myrhelserver_cpy_dot_com.key ) and CA signed certificate (which is CertificateBundle1.pem) as shown below:
[tan@myrhelserver cert_related]$ openssl pkcs12 -export -in CertificateBundle1.pem -inkey myrhelserver_cpy_dot_com.key -certfile CertificateBundle1.pem -out activemq_p_keystore.p12
Enter Export Password:
Verifying - Enter Export Password:
I pressed Enter key when it asked me to Enter Export Password and Verifying – Enter Export Password. After this I saw activemq_p_keystore.p12 generated inside the directory as shown in the ls command below.
[tan@myrhelserver cert_related]$ ls
activemq_p_keystore.p12 CertificateBundle1.pem myrhelserver_cpy_dot_com.key
After this I ran the keytool command as mentioned in the Step 2 of the documentation - which is asking me to generate the JKS file in the following manner:
keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore testkeystore.p12 -srcstoretype pkcs12 -destkeystore wso2carbon.jks -deststoretype JKS
Here is my actual command :
[tan@myrhelserver cert_related]$ keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore activemq_p_keystore.p12 -srcstoretype pkcs12 -destkeystore wso2carbon.jks -deststoretype JKS
Importing keystore activemq_p_keystore.p12 to wso2carbon.jks...
Enter destination keystore password:
Re-enter new password:
They don't match. Try again
Enter destination keystore password:
Re-enter new password:
Enter source keystore password:
***************** WARNING WARNING WARNING *****************
* The integrity of the information stored in the srckeystore*

* you must provide the srckeystore password. *
***************** WARNING WARNING WARNING *****************
keytool error: java.lang.NullPointerException: invalid null input
It’s asking for so many passwords as you can see above. So I did the following:
For Enter destination keystore password: and Re-enter new password: I entered nothing and pressed Enter key. It then asked me for Enter destination keystore password: and then Re-enter new password: and Enter source keystore password:
“. I was lost after this.
What am I doing wrong here? Should I be creating new password at any of the steps above?
