Convert a PFX to a Java KeyStore

See more PFX/P12 Examples

Demonstrates Pfx.ToJksObj, which populates a JavaKeyStore with a JKS representation of the PFX, then writes it to a file.

The file path is relative to the application's current working directory. An absolute path may also be used. Supply the path appropriate to your own environment.

Dim success As Boolean = False

Dim pfx As ChilkatPfx
pfx.Initialize

'  The file path is relative to the application's current working directory.  An absolute path
'  may also be used.  Supply the path appropriate to your own environment.
'  The PFX password should come from a secure source rather than being hard-coded.
Dim password As String = "myPfxPassword"
success = pfx.LoadPfxFile("qa_data/identity.pfx", password)
If success = False Then
    Log(pfx.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If


'  Populate a Java KeyStore (JKS) representation of this PFX.  One private-key entry is created for
'  each private key, and the PFX certificates are used to build the certificate chains.  The 1st
'  argument is the alias for the first private-key entry, and the 2nd protects the generated JKS.
'  The JKS password should come from a secure source rather than being hard-coded.
Dim jksPassword As String = "myJksPassword"
Dim jks As ChilkatJavaKeyStore
jks.Initialize
success = pfx.ToJksObj("myalias", jksPassword, jks)
If success = False Then
    Log(pfx.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If


'  The Java KeyStore object can then be written to a .jks file.
success = jks.ToFile(jksPassword, "qa_output/identity.jks")
If success = False Then
    Log(jks.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

Log("Wrote a Java KeyStore with " & jks.NumPrivateKeys & " private key(s).")
