SSL Java java.io.IOException: Invalid keystore format

Question

I am testing SSL in java with SSLServerSocket and other classes in the java.ssl package. When I run the following code, I get the exception java.io.IOException: Invalid keys

Answer 1

Your file is invalid. You have to import a JKS keystore file and not a txt one. You have to use the keytool to create your keystore file and then import this file.
