2. Using the keytool utility, enter the following:

keytool -import -alias <alias> -keystore <your_keystore_filename> -trustcacerts -file <filename_of_the_chain>

Steps:

1. Import Entrust cross certificate using the command below:

C:\>keytool -import -alias g2root -keystore c:\.mykeystore -trustcacerts -file c:\cross.cer

2. Enter keystore password:

  • Import Entrust chain using the command below:
C:\>keytool -import -alias chain -keystore c:\.mykeystore -trustcacerts -file c:\chain.cer

Enter keystore password:

Note – Do not use the same alias name as you used to create the certificate signing request. The chain certificate must be installed under a separate alias.
