About the Keytool Utility

Use keytool to set up and work with JSSE digital certificates in the Platform Edition. The J2SE SDK ships with keytool, thus allowing the administrator to administer public/private key pairs and associated certificates. It also enables users to cache the public keys (in the form of certificates) of their communicating peers.

To run keytool, the shell environment must be configured so that the J2SE /bin directory is in the path, or the full path to the tool must be present on the command line. For more information on keytool, see the keytool documentation at:
