Invalid Keystore Format after creating a keystore and attaching a certificate to it
java, openssl
Solution
Use `-storetype pkcs12` option with `keytool`.
keytool -list -v -keystore mycert.p12 -storetype pkcs12
By default, `keytool` assumes that the keystore type is `JKS` and if it's not, `keytool` fails. If using other keystore files (`.p12` in your example), you need to explicitely give a store type using the mentioned method.
Problem
I am creating a keystore using OpenSSL using the following command : ``` openssl pkcs12 -export -in mycert.crt -inkey mykey.key \ -out mycert.p12 -name tomcat -CAfile myCA.crt \ -caname root ``` as per the documentation. Now when I try to validate the keystore using `keytool -list -v -keystore mycert.p12`, I am getting an `Invalid Keystore Exception`. Is this because I am using Apache implementation of creating a keystore? Also a constraint I have is that I cannot use Java keytool to create a keystore although my Java program is using to keystore for FTPS transfer.
