Installing SSL Certificate on Java Based Web Servers

Use the keytool command to import the certificates as follows:
<%JAVA_HOME%>/bin/keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias -file -keystore

Use the same process for the site certificate using the keytool command, if you are using an alias then please include the alias command in the string. Example:

<%JAVA_HOME%>/bin/keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias yyy -file yahoo.cer -keystore [domain.key/cacerts.jks/...]

Certificate keystore file name may vary from server to server.

The password is then requested.

EXAMPLE BELOW :

Enter keystore password: (This is the one used during CSR creation)
The following information will be displayed about the certificate and you will be asked if you want to trust it (the default is no so type 'y' or 'yes'):
Owner: CN= Root, O=Root, C=US
Issuer: CN=Root, O=Root, C=US
Serial number: 111111111111
Valid from: Fri JAN 01 23:01:00 GMT 1990 until: Thu JAN 01 23:59:00 GMT 2050
Certificate fingerprints:
MD5: D1:E7:F0:B2:A3:C5:7D:61:67:F0:04:CD:43:D3:BA:58
SHA1: B6:GE:DE:9E:4C:4E:9F:6F:D8:86:17:57:9D:D3:91:BC:65:A6:89:64
Trust this certificate? [no]:

Then an information message will display as follows:
Certificate was added to keystore

All the certificates are now loaded and the correct root certificate will be presented. Now we have to restart the web server.
