Setting "Friendly name" with keytool

843810Mar 8 2004 — edited Mar 9 2004

Hi. I run Java 1.4.1 and Tomcat 4.1. Using keytool, I would like to generate a keystore which generates certificates that have a friendly name that I specify. For example, in Internet Explorer, after installing a certificate as a Trusted Root Authority, I would like to go to Tools->Contents tab->Certificates->Trusted Root Certification Authorities tab, and see under the "Friendly name" column the friendly name that I chose for a certificate. I don't see a -genkey option to specify a friendly name in the keytool help. If there's no way to directly change the certificate's friendly name with keytool, I can change the certificate's friendly name in IE. How may I then import the modified certificate into the keystore and have the webserver reference the keystore to return the modified certificate?

Thank you.

Raj
