之前的文章中,我們已經解釋了如何在 Java 中建立憑證鏈。產生鏈之後,我們需要將其儲存在某處,以便稍後在進行實際的 SSL 通訊時可以使用它,無論是在金鑰儲存庫還是信任儲存庫中。這篇文章將向您展示如何將私鑰及其關聯的憑證鏈儲存在金鑰儲存庫檔案中。

在 Java 中有不同類型的金鑰儲存庫,在這篇文章中,我們將選擇 JKS 來演示如何儲存憑證鏈。當將私鑰條目儲存到金鑰儲存庫時,我們也需要儲存其關聯的憑證鏈。通常,我們需要給條目一個別名來識別該條目。以下是將條目儲存到金鑰儲存庫的程式碼片段:

KeyStore keyStore=KeyStore.getInstance("jks");
keyStore.load(null,null);

keyStore.setKeyEntry(alias, key, password, chain);
keyStore.store(new FileOutputStream(keystore),password);

首先,我們將載入一個空的 keystore,如果您已經有一個 keystore,可以替換:

keyStore.load(null,null);

keyStore.load(new FileInputStream(keystore),password);

載入金鑰儲存庫後,我們可以通過呼叫 setKeyEntry 並傳遞別名、私鑰、金鑰保護密碼和關聯的憑證鏈來設定條目。然後我們呼叫 keyStore.store() 來儲存條目。請注意,在某些硬體金鑰儲存庫中,我們不需要呼叫 keyStore.store() 方法來儲存金鑰儲存庫,setKeyEntry() 將自動將條目放入硬體中。

我們可以通過呼叫

keyStore.getCertificateChain() 方法並指定別名來從金鑰儲存庫中檢索憑證鏈。

Certificate[] certs=keyStore.getCertificateChain(alias);

以下是一個可行的程式,演示如何儲存和檢索憑證鏈。

Which version of Java you are using? 

Anonymous [Reply]@ 2017-11-22 08:50:52

thanks its resolved now !

but i can u tell me how i convert jks file in .cert file i want to deploy certificate chain file in my browser.

please let me now ASAP .

Ke Pi [Reply]@ 2017-11-22 10:43:36

You can simply use the keytool provided by JDK. 

To list all certificates, run

keytool -list -keystore test.jks -rfc

To list a certificate or certificate chain with specific alias, run

keytool -list -alias leaf -keystore test.jks -rfc

You simply need to copy the below portion to a cert file.

Please help, I am using jdk 1.8.162 version.

Vivek [Reply]@ 2018-09-26 13:04:00

I am able to execute the code and it is working fine. But when I am trying to list the certificates using KeyTool with command "keytool -list -keystore test.jks -rfc" then I am getting below message :

 

Enter keystore password:

Keystore type: JKS

Keystore provider: SUN

 

 

Your keystore contains 0 entries

 

 

It is not showing any entry, please help

Ke Pi [Reply]@ 2018-09-27 09:52:02

The output shows that the keystore contains no entry. Are you sure you saved the keystore correctly? Also can you add -v when you run the list command.

ankit [Reply]@ 2019-04-06 03:33:05

will itworkwith java 9 and latest versions..

i believe sun.security is not supported by java 9

Ankit [Reply]@ 2019-04-06 03:35:06

pl help me with latest codes for self signed X509 certificate generation on java 9 or latest versions..
