Self Signed Certificate incorrect keystore password?
Hi everybody,
I'm starting to learn how to make self-signed certificates using keytool. I use the Keytool page to learn: http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.3/docs/tooldocs/win32/keytool.html
However I'm having a problem with an error saying that my keystore password is incorrect?!
Here is what I do:
-------------------------------
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_11\bin>keytool -genkey -dname "cn=Paul Smith, ou=myOU, o=myO, c=US" -alias psmith -keypass kpassword -keystore psmisth.ks -storepass spassword -validity 360
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_11\bin>keytool -export -alias psmith -file psmith.cer
Enter keystore password: kpassword
keytool error: java.io.IOException: Keystore was tampered with, or password was incorrect
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_11\bin>keytool -list -v -keystore psmith.ks
Enter keystore password: kpassword
Keystore type: jks
Keystore provider: SUN
Your keystore contains 1 entry
Alias name: psmith
Creation date: 02-Aug-2011
Entry type: keyEntry
Certificate chain length: 1
Certificate[1]:
[...]
-----------------------------------
I have tried to delete the .ks file and try again but nothing changed. I don't have any .keystore file in my folder.
Why does it say that my password is incorrect?
