Issuing JKS certificates

The Certificate Manager can generate certificates into a JKS Keystore. The Issue JKS Certificates option opens a wizard for generating a JKS store and certificate.

When you specify user information, validation date, and the key and keystore passwords, the Certificate Manager generates a keystore in $HCIROOT/server/certs/store.

  1. Select File > Issue JKS Certificates to open the wizard. The first page of the wizard is the Create a Keystore page.
  2. Specify a name and password for the JKS file.
  3. Click Finish to save the JKS file to $HCIROOT/server/certs/store. This file is protected by a password and has no content.
  4. Click Next to proceed to the Create Information of Certificate page.
  5. Specify the user information for the certificate.
  6. Click Next to proceed to the "Create Certificate" page.
  7. Specify the valid date and alias name for the certificate, along with the password of the private key.
  8. Click Finish to create the JKS file which contains a certificate and a private key.
    The JKS file is saved in $HCIROOT/server/certs/store.
