To convert a pfx cert file to a jks file, please follow these instructions:
1. Set up the environment for the domain, by executing the setDomainEnv.sh script, typically located at $DOMAIN_HOME/bin.
$ . ./setDomainEnv.sh
2. Use OpenSSL to check the pfx certificate's content.
$ openssl pkcs12 -in <certificate.pfx> -out KEYSTORE.pem -nodesAt this point, a password for the pfx file will be requested. Expected output:
$ openssl pkcs12 -in <certificate.pfx> -out KEYSTORE.pem -nodesEnter Import Password:MAC verified OK3.
Open KEYSTORE.pem file, from step 2. This should look similar to
this:You will find three certificates on it and the private key:

Identify and store contents from KEYSTORE.pem certificate, to proceed and create jks files:At this point, you will find three certificates on KEYSTORE.pem and the private key. 4.1 Private Key.To identify the private key, look for the following headings:
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----------END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----Both above mentioned tags will be surrounded the private key. Go ahead and save the content of it into a file called: my_key_pk.pem. This has to include the headings. Expected file:
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----MIIEpQIBAAKCAQEAtPwoO3eOwSyOapzZgcDnQOH27cOaaejHtNh921Pd+U4N+dlm...EDIT...Y4ZrW12PRa9/EOBGTG5teKAEada/K4yKReTyQQAGq6j5RjErmuuKkKgPGMSCjvMSR5rsB00Yk1/2W9UqD9Nn7cDuMdilS8g9CUqnnSlDkSG0AX67auKUAcI=-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----4.2 Root Certificate.To identify the Root Certificate, look for the following headings:
subject=/C=US/O=GeoTrust Inc./CN=GeoTrust Global CA issuer=/C=US/O=GeoTrust Inc./CN=GeoTrust Global CA Subject and issuer must be the same. Go ahead and save the content of it into a file called: my_key_root.pem. Include all the content from BEGIN CERTIFICATE TO END CERTIFICATE, both included.4.3 Intermediate Certificate.To identify an Intermediate Certificate, look for the following heading:
subject=/C=US/O=GeoTrust, Inc./CN=GeoTrust SSL CAissuer=/C=US/O=GeoTrust Inc./CN=GeoTrust Global CA Subject and issuer are different only on the CN. Go ahead and save the content of it into a file called: my_key_intermediate.pem. Include all the content from BEGIN CERTIFICATE TO END CERTIFICATE, both included.
NOTE:
This certificate is optional and there are some cases where it'll not
be present. If this is the case, go ahead and skip this step. In any
other case, this needs to be added to the identity keystore jks file. 4.4 Server Certificate. To identify a Server Certificate, look for the following heading:
friendlyName: some.thing.comsubject=/serialNumber=sj6QjpTjKcpQGZ9QqWO-pFvsakS1t8MV/C=US/ST=Missouri/L=CHESTERFIELD/O=Oracle_Corp,
Inc./OU=Oracle/CN=some.thing.com A server certificate includes a heading called Friendly Name. Go ahead and save the content of it into a file called: my_key_crt.pem. Include all the content from BEGIN CERTIFICATE TO END CERTIFICATE, both included.5. Create a Trust Keystore and import the Root certificate into it.
$
keytool -import -trustcacerts -file my_key_root.pem -alias my_key_root
-keystore my_key_trust.jks -storepass <store_pass> -keypass
<key_pass>Expected Output:
Certificate already exists in system-wide CA keystore under
alias <geotrustglobalca>
Do you still want to add it to your own keystore? [no]: yes
Certificate was added to keystore6. Generate an Identity Keystore and import Server into it.
$java utils.ImportPrivateKey -keystore
my_key_identity.jks -storepass <store_pass> -storetype JKS
-keypass <key_pass> -alias server_identity -certfile
my_key_crt.pem -keyfile my_key_pk.pem -keyfilepass <pfx_password>
With these instructions, two jks files will be produced:
my_key_identity.jks
my_key_trust.jks
With both files, the next step is to configure Custom Identity and Custom Trust on WebLogic Server.
