If you are new to the Java Keytool, you should first read the documentation: keytool - Key and Certificate Management Tool.
Java Keytool is a command line tool. You need to run it from a command line window using this syntax:
keytool <command> <options>
Examples Keytool commands:
keytool -genkeypair keytool -certreq -file MyCertificate.csr keytool -importcert -alias Mine -file MyCertificate.cer keytool -exportcert -alias Root -rfc -file RootCertificate.pem keytool -list -keystore MyStore.jks
Keytool also supports the "-help" command to provide command usage help:
- "keytool -help" - Returns a list of valid Keytool commands.
- "keytool <command> -help" - Returns list of valid options for the specified command.
