How can I find the private key for my SSL certificate. If you just got an issued SSL certificate and are having a hard time finding the corresponding private key, this article can help you to find that one and only key for your certificate. Command: keytool -list -v -keystore identity.jks -storepass password - The ImportPrivateKey utility is used to load a private key into a private keystore file. You can use the CertGen utility to create a.key ( testkey ) and.crt ( testcert ) and then use the ImportPrivateKey utility to create a.jks file.

Before You Begin

To run the keytool utility, your shell environmentmust be configured so that the J2SE /bin directory is inthe path, otherwise the full path to the utility must be present on the commandline.

1. Change to the directory that contains the keystore and truststorefiles.

   Always generate the certificate in the directory containingthe keystore and truststore files. The default is domain-dir/config.

2. Generate the certificate in the keystore file, keystore.jks,using the following command format:

   Use any unique name as your keyAlias. Ifyou have changed the keystore or private key password from the default (changeit), substitute the new password for changeit.The default key password alias is s1as.

   A prompt appears that asks for your name, organization, and other information.
