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.

import { JavaKeyStore, Pfx } from '@chilkat/react-native'

function chilkatExample() {
  const pfx = new Pfx();

  // 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.
  const password = 'myPfxPassword';
  try {
    pfx.loadPfxFile('qa_data/identity.pfx', password);
  } catch {
    console.log(pfx.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  // 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.
  const jksPassword = 'myJksPassword';
  const jks = new JavaKeyStore();
  try {
    pfx.toJksObj('myalias', jksPassword, jks);
  } catch {
    console.log(pfx.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  // The Java KeyStore object can then be written to a .jks file.
  try {
    jks.toFile(jksPassword, 'qa_output/identity.jks');
  } catch {
    console.log(jks.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  console.log(`Wrote a Java KeyStore with ${jks.numPrivateKeys} private key(s).`);
