Class KeyImport

java.lang.Object

com.goldencode.p2j.security.KeyImport

public class KeyImport
extends java.lang.Object

Implements arbitrary private key / certificate pair import into a keystore. This functionality is supported by the KeyStore class, but not by the keytool supplied with J2SE. More specifically, the keytool provides a way of generating new private keys and their matching public certificates right into the keystore. However, there is no way of importing a private key generated by some other entity like a CA.

A private key file should be an unencrypted DER encoded binary file. Its associated X.509 certificate should be a regular PEM file.

The target keystore file is supposed to be created as a JKS type file.
