Converting .jks to p12

Question

How can I convert a .jks file to p12. jks is a java key store file so how can I convert it to the p12 format?

Answer 1

Convert a JKS file to PKCS12 format (Java 1.6.x and above)

keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore
KEYSTORE.jks -destkeystore
KEYSTORE.p12 -srcstoretype JKS
-deststoretype PKCS12 -srcstorepass mysecret -deststorepass mysecret
-srcalias myalias -destalias myalias -srckeypass mykeypass -destkeypass mykeypass -noprompt

Answer 2

JKS → P12:

keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore keystore.jks -srcstoretype JKS -deststoretype PKCS12 -destkeystore keystore.p12

P12 → JKS:

keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore keystore.p12 -srcstoretype PKCS12 -deststoretype JKS -destkeystore keystore.jks

Answer 3

Here is a one line command for the same.

keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore <MY_KEYSTORE.jks> -destkeystore <MY_FILE.p12> -srcstoretype JKS -deststoretype PKCS12 -deststorepass <PASSWORD_PKCS12> -srcalias <ALIAS_SRC> -destalias <ALIAS_DEST>

Explaining the parameters :

MY_FILE.p12: path to the PKCS#12 file (.p12 or .pfx extension) that is going to be created.
MY_KEYSTORE.jks: path to the keystore that you want to convert.
PASSWORD_PKCS12: password that will be requested at the PKCS#12 file opening.
ALIAS_SRC: name matching your certificate entry in the JKS keystore, "tomcat" for example.
ALIAS_DEST: name that will match your certificate entry in the PKCS#12 file, "tomcat" for example.
