Browse All TopicsI am setting up the key store for SSL connection on a Solaris server using the Java keytool utility. Till now I generated the key pairs and submitted the CSRs to Verisign and got the cert from them. Following the instructions on their site I have also imported the intermediate CA certificate under a different alias. Now for the final step when I try to import the certificate, I get this exception:
keytool error: java.lang.Exception: Failed to establish chain from reply
Commands executed:
keytool -import -alias caalias -keystore xyz.keystore -trustcacerts -file interCA.cer
then
keytool -import -alias genkeyalias -keystore xyz.keystore -trustcacerts -file cert.cer
Am I missing something?
