    My boss has used Openssl to buy a certificate and now I have this files:

    • a key file, (yourdomain.key),
    • a csr file (yourdomain.csr),
    • a cer file (my_domain.cer) (IIS SSL Certificate (PKCS#7) received from comodo.com)

    The file .cer has format

    -----BEGIN PKCS7-----

    .......

    -----END PKCS7-----

    In order to config my SSL certificate on my tomcat, I want to regenerate a keystore file. I google it but no answer could help me. Can anyone help me to do that ?

    Thanks for your answer, but i got this error keytool error: java.lang.Exception: Input not an X.509 certificate. Could you give me some idea to fix ? The cer is the file I receive from comondo.com and has the format as I mention above.

    I hear that the error can be caused by giving a wrong alias search.thawte.com/support/ssl-digital-certificates/… but I don't know in this case, my boss has created the key file by the command from here vn.godaddy.com/help/…, no alias enterred.
