B4J Question Lost while setting SSL to b4j srvr

[lemonisdead]

Hello,

I am sorry if the question seems to be too simple but I am totally lost while setting a provided SSL certificate.

I have got :

• a Private key file
  
• a Certificate file

Please which one should I put in the SetKeyStorePath ? Should I put them both in the same .pem file, please ?

Many thanks

You need to convert the key to Java keystore. The actual procedure depends on the type of key. Usually the certificate provider will also provide the instructions for this.

You can also check the instructions here: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Jetty/Howto/Configure_SSL#Generating_Keys_and_Certificates_with_JDK_keytool (start with a self signed certificate).

Hello Erel,
I do thank your for your reply and after, two days of trial, I am about to give up. Yes, I can generate my own certificate but I am unable to make it work with the one provided.
When I try to put the certificate and the key in PKCS12, I am asked for the 'Export password' but after that, I get a " unable to write random state " error. All is well written but there is something I can't get, reason why I have asked for some help.
Thanks again

It was important to start with the self signed certificate to see that it is working.

If you like you can send me the keys and the instructions you received by mail and I'll try to convert it to a keystore.

Hello Erel,
I have to apologize, I simply missed your reply. What I do understand is the fact I could create the keystore locally and then upload it to the server. I will try that before to disturb you with any request.
Many thanks
