Import certificate into jre keystore on OS X 10.6
I have a web application that uses soap over https to obtain some data on another server.
To be more precise, my web application uses a Identikey 3.1 server to obtain user credentials over HTTPS using a soap call. For this to work a certificate needs to be available for the JVM running my web-application.
I know how to import certificates on the windows platform, but is there a best practice for jvm ' s on OS X, or is the unix way the correct way to do this?
Some hints I found on google point to the os x keychain, but this seems a little odd, or not?

So you could import a certificate into the keystore using the linux version of keytool:
Example: keytool -import -v -keystore <keystore file> -file mycerts.pem
Some info on google pointed to using the keychain to achieve this and that confused me.
I haven' t tried the solution by CEHJ yet, I made a habit of not running homebrew scripts/programs for these kinds of actions without checking them out first.
Example: keytool -import -v -keystore <keystore file> -file mycerts.pem

It's not 'homebrew' :-) - it was written by someone at Sun to simplify what you're trying to do

yes (but you'd use the mac version that comes with the jdk)
> I haven' t tried the solution by CEHJ yet
don't bother, its not applicable to what you are doing

It would be nice if a command example was present in the answer. Other then that, I now know the answer to my question.
