Import Certificate into the Trust-store

[DeepakBhatia]

Hi,

I am executing the command below in the JIRA User Guide

But I get the following error

[root@localhost ~]# keytool -import -alias tomcat -file file.cer
Enter keystore password:
keytool error: java.lang.Exception: Certificate reply and certificate in keystore are identical

[Sandro Herrmann [Communardo] · Accepted solution]

your command only trys to import the cert to your local keytore (on windows User/USERNAME/.keystore). In this keystore the tomcat file is already existing.

You Should add the certificate to your JIRA's JRE.

keytool -import -file tomcat.cer -alias tomcat -keystore "%JAVA_HOME%\lib\security\cacerts"

But Attention, if your are using a JDK for your JIRA (i think you ever need a jdk to run JIRA) you have to use the "jre" folder in your JDK

keytool -import -file tomcat.cer -alias tomcat -keystore "PATH_TO_JDK\jre\lib\security\cacerts"

If you want do change the certificate in your local keystore you have to remove the old one proviously

keytool -delete -alias tomcat

Don't forgot to restart your JIRA after changes :)

To restart JIRA try following:
