Getting a PrivateKey object from a .p12 file in Java

Question

As the title suggests, I have .p12 file required for google service account api access. In order to get the credential to connect to the api, there\'s a field .setServiceAcc

Answer 1

I think it's easier to call Google's SecurityUtils directly, e.g.:

PrivateKey privateKey = SecurityUtils.loadPrivateKeyFromKeyStore(SecurityUtils.getPkcs12KeyStore(), this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("keyFile.p12"), "notasecret", "privatekey", "notasecret")

It's one-line and you don't have to worry about aliasing.
