To automate the process of SSL certificate deployment, I need information whether the export password and then the security password can be provided directly in the command without the need to enter it in input?
The commands it uses:
openssl pkcs12 -export -in domain.crt -inkey domain.key -certfile root.crt -out domain.p12
keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore domain.p12 -srcstoretype PKCS12 -destkeystore domain.jks
It's working only after i've enter password in input but i must enter password directly in command.
Thanks and greetings.
I have _client-cert.pem and client-key.pem and ca.pem files which I am trying to add to my grails project.
I used following commands :
Convert client keys/certificate files to PKCS#12 before creating a keystore
openssl pkcs12 -export -in client-cert.pem -inkey client-key.pem \
-name “mysqlclient” -passout pass:mypassword -out client-keystore.p12
Create a Java Keystore using the client-keystore.p12 file
keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore client-keystore.p12 -srcstoretype pkcs12 \
-srcstorepass mypassword -destkeystore keystore -deststoretype JKS -deststorepass mypassword
Then Modified my application.yml file with that path :
enabled: true
key-store: /..../proxreg
key-store-password:kjsfghsfjlhgl
keyStoreType: pkcs12
keyAlias: tomcat
I was wondering if I am missing any step or what am I doing wrong. I am getting access denied error but when I try to connect thro mysql wokbench it works
You can generate a self-signed certificate using the openssl command-line utility.
We can use openssl's req command to create a self-signed certificate:
openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem -days 365
Above will prompt you to supply metadata about the certificate, such as Country, Organization, etc. Moreover, it will ask you to provide a PEM pass phrase. Enter a random password and keep it safe; we will need in the next step.
Now you have you self-signed certificate. Unfortunately Grails (and Spring Boot) doesn’t support the PEM format directly. Instead, we need to use the PKCS12 format for our keys. Fortunately, there is another openssl command to make the conversion:
openssl pkcs12 -export -in cert.pem -inkey key.pem -out keystore.p12 -name tomcat -caname root
Update grails-app/conf/application.yml with the following lines:
server:
port: 8443
ssl:
keyStore: /certificates/keystore.p12
keyStorePassword: secret
# keyAlias: tomcat
Above all worked fine with me. for more information please refer this and this
Hope this will help you.
I have a trusted certificate chain, a certificate issued by this chain and private key file for this certificate.
I want to create a P12 / PFX for this, so I can put it as client certificate in the windows store:
OpenSsl Pkcs12 -export -nokeys
-certfile mytrustedCertifcates.pem^
-inkey myPrivateKey.Key^
-in myCertificate.crt^
-out myCertificate.P12
Alas, the resulting file contains all trustedCertificates. If I import the P12 in my windows certificate store, I import the complete certificate chain, although they are already in the certificate store.
I also tried options: (from OpenSsl command line utilities, also in -help)
-nocerts don't output certificates.
-clcerts only output client certificates.
Alas, the P12 still contains the complete certificate chain, and importing the P12 imports the complete chain again.
BartonJs gave the answer in a comment (thank you BartonJs!):
leave out the --certfile parameter:
OpenSsl Pkcs12 -export -nokeys
-name some friendly name
-inkey myPrivateKey.Key^
-in myCertificate.crt^
-out myCertificate.P12
nokeys: leaves out the PEM password
name: the friendly name that will appear in column friendly name of the winstore
inkey and in are the input certficate with its private key
out is the name of the file to produce.
After importing it in the windstore (command: certlm.msc), It propertly says:
Issued to:
Issued by:
Expiration date
Intended purposes
Friendly name:
I'm following SSL basic access authentication doc
Step 3: Combine the key and certificate files into a PKCS12 format
file, the format used by the Java keystore. If the certificate you
received is not in the .pem format, see the Jetty SSL configuration
docs to learn how to convert it.
Read key password from env variable MARATHON_KEY_PASSWORD
Set PKCS password to env variable MARATHON_PKCS_PASSWORD
$ openssl pkcs12 -inkey marathon.key
-passin "env:MARATHON_KEY_PASSWORD"
-name marathon
-in trusted.pem
-password "env:MARATHON_PKCS_PASSWORD"
-chain -CAfile "trustedCA.crt"
-export -out marathon.pkcs12
I have marathon.key from step 1
I have trusted.pem from step 2
But I don't have trustedCA.crt
Is this a cert from my server?
I created a cert on my server, and used it but I get an error
Error self signed certificate getting chain.
If you don't have singed chain (self signde doesn't count) there is no point in using this option. Use the code below to generate self signed sert and use it with Marathon.
I generate self signed certs as follow without chain.
mkdir -p /etc/marathon/ssl
cd /etc/marathon/ssl
export MARATHON_SSL_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD=jks_pass
keytool -keystore marathon.jks -deststorepass $MARATHON_SSL_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD -alias marathon -genkey -keyalg RSA
cat << EOF > /etc/default/marathon
MARATHON_SSL_KEYSTORE_PATH=/etc/marathon/ssl/marathon.jks
MARATHON_SSL_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD=$MARATHON_SSL_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD

I am trying to configure SSL on my Jetty.
I read this:
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/JETTY/How+to+configure+SSL
and created a key store.
Then, I jumped directly to section 4. But where is this configuration file I should configure Jetty?
I tried to serach for jetty.xml, but there is no such on my computer...
I had a lot of problems making it work but I finally foud out how to make it happend. I'm using ubuntu 10.04 with java 7. It may be possible to do it under windows but all the comands lines are bash commands, maybe possible to do the same with cigwin/mingw
I used Jetty 8.1.8. Download it from codehaus and choose the .tar.gz file for linux (.zip for windows).
Unzip the file in any directory you wish, this will be your {jetty} home folder for the sake of this article/answer.
Go to the {jetty}/etc directory.
Execute all the following command lines in order. Whenever a password is asked, input the same password all the time. The passwords are used to protect the key file, the key store and the certificate itself. Sometimes, a password will be asked to unlock the key store or to use a generated key. Once you will understand what everything is and how to use the passwords correctly, you may change those passwords when you feel ready (safer for production use). Otherwise, input the requested informations when asked.
openssl genrsa -des3 -out jetty.key
openssl req -new -x509 -key jetty.key -out jetty.crt
keytool -keystore keystore -import -alias jetty -file jetty.crt -trustcacerts
openssl req -new -key jetty.key -out jetty.csr
openssl pkcs12 -inkey jetty.key -in jetty.crt -export -out jetty.pkcs12
keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore jetty.pkcs12 -srcstoretype PKCS12 -destkeystore keystore
Now you have to edit {jetty}/etc/jetty-ssl.xml and configure your password to match the one you used during certificate generation. If you want to obfuscate your password, go back to the command line. Go tho your {jetty} home directory and execute the following:
java -cp lib/jetty-util-8.1.8.v20121106.jar org.eclipse.jetty.util.security.Password "{PASSWORD}"
Change {PASSWORD} for your actual password then past the obfuscated password, including the "OBF:" in all password fields found in jetty-ssl.xml. Note that a password obfuscated like that is hard to read for humans but easily unobfiscated programmatically. It just prevent developpers to know the password when they edit the file. All configuration files should be secured properly and their accesses be as restrictive as possible.
Edit {jetty}/start.ini and uncomment the line #etc/jetty-ssl.xml (just remove the #).
Start jetty:
java -jar start.jar
Now contact your server at: https://localhost:8443
Done!
Note that this answer is a quick way to enable SSL with jetty. To make it secure for production, you have to read some more on the subject.
Answer updated after more experience with keystores. I assure you this solution works perfectly with intermediate certificates (29/07/2015).
Note: PEM format means a readable file, certificates start with ---BEGIN CERTIFICATE--- and private keys start with -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY----- line.
Here's an easy step by step guide. Start with an empty directory.
Skip to Step 2 if you have private key (PEM encoded .key)
Skip to Step 3 if you have certificate signing request (PEM encoded .csr)
Skip to Step 4 if you have your certificate (PEM encoded .crt or .pem)
Prepare (password-less) private key.
openssl genrsa -des3 -passout pass:1 -out domain.pass.key 2048
openssl rsa -passin pass:1 -in domain.pass.key -out domain.key
rm domain.pass.key
Prepare certificate signing request (CSR). We'll generate this using our key. Enter relevant information when asked. Note the use of -sha256, without it, modern browsers will generate a warning.
openssl req -key domain.key -sha256 -new -out domain.csr
Prepare certificate. Pick one:
a) Sign it yourself
openssl x509 -req -days 3650 -in domain.csr -signkey domain.key -out domain.crt
b) Send it to an authority
Your SSL provider will supply you with your certificate and their intermediate certificates in PEM format.
Add to trust chain and package it in PKCS12 format. First command sets a keystore password for convenience (else you'll need to enter password a dozen times). Set a different password for safety.
export PASS=LW33Lk714l9l8Iv
Pick one:
a) Self-signed certificate (no need for intermediate certificates)
openssl pkcs12 -export -in domain.crt -inkey domain.key -out domain.p12 -name domain -passout pass:$PASS
keytool -importkeystore -deststorepass $PASS -destkeypass $PASS -destkeystore domain.keystore -srckeystore domain.p12 -srcstoretype PKCS12 -srcstorepass $PASS -alias domain
b) Need to include intermediate certificates
Download intermediate certificates and concat them into one file. The order should be sub to root.
cat sub.class1.server.ca.pem ca.pem > ca_chain.pem
Use a -caname parameter for each intermediate certificate in chain file, respective to the order they were put into the chain file.
openssl pkcs12 -export -in domain.crt -inkey domain.key -out domain.p12 -name domain -passout pass:$PASS -CAfile ca_chain.pem -caname sub1 -caname root -chain
keytool -importkeystore -deststorepass $PASS -destkeypass $PASS -destkeystore domain.keystore -srckeystore domain.p12 -srcstoretype PKCS12 -srcstorepass $PASS -alias domain
Important note: Although keytool -list will only list one entry and not any intermediate certificates, it will work perfectly.
Configure jetty.
Move domain.keystore file to JETTY_HOME/etc/.
Pick one:
a) You're using new start.ini style configuration (Jetty 8+):
jetty.keystore=etc/domain.keystore
jetty.truststore=etc/domain.keystore
jetty.keystore.password=LW33Lk714l9l8Iv
jetty.keymanager.password=LW33Lk714l9l8Iv
jetty.truststore.password=LW33Lk714l9l8Iv
b) You're using old style configuration with .xml files (you should upgrade to new style!):
Edit JETTY_HOME/etc/jetty-ssl.xml file and change the part below. Replace password parts to match your password. We don't define KeyManagerPassword because our key has no password.
<Configure id="Server" class="org.eclipse.jetty.server.Server">
<New id="sslContextFactory" class="org.eclipse.jetty.http.ssl.SslContextFactory">
<Set name="KeyStore"><Property name="jetty.home" default="." />/etc/keystore</Set>
<Set name="KeyStorePassword">LW33Lk714l9l8Iv</Set>
<Set name="TrustStore"><Property name="jetty.home" default="." />/etc/keystore</Set>
<Set name="TrustStorePassword">LW33Lk714l9l8Iv</Set>
</New>
<Call name="addConnector">...</Call>
</Configure>
Edit start.ini file to include jetty-ssl.xml file.
(Re)start jetty.
Note that this keystore file can also be used with other containers like Tomcat. Good luck!
A default configuration file for Jetty and is located at $JETTY_HOME/etc/jetty.xml
If you are using maven's jetty plugin you will need to specify ssl keystore details in your pom.xml file. See this question for details
Just bought a cert from godaddy for mere $6/year. Great deal while it lasts. Here are the steps I followed to set it up on Amazon EC2/Ubuntu/Jetty based on these sites and Jean-Philippe Gravel's answer.
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/JETTY/How+to+configure+SSL
http://community.xmatters.com/docs/DOC-1228#.UgWsI1MU7lc
keytool -keystore keystore -alias jettykey -genkey -keyalg RSA
Note that "First and last name" must be your FQDN (without http://). On my first attempt I had dutifully put my first and last name, but godaddy has good warnings and rejected it.
Generate a CSR file for Godaddy:
keytool -certreq -alias jetty -keystore keystore -file jetty.csr
Submit this in the Godaddy form to create the certificate, including the BEGIN/END "NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST".
(Godaddy requires you to verify its your site. There a couple methods for this and since I bought the domain name via a proxy, I found it easiest and quickest to verify by hosting an html page generated by godaddy.)
Download the zip containing both certificate and intermediary certificate from godaddy. There is a list of server types to choose from. I choose "other". Then combine cert with intermediary cert.
cat mydomain.com.crt gd_bundle.crt > certchain.txt
export my private key
keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore keystore -destkeystore intermediate.p12 -deststoretype PKCS12
openssl pkcs12 -in intermediate.p12 -out jettykey.pem -nodes
combine private key and certificate
openssl pkcs12 -export -inkey jettykey.pem -in certchain.txt -out jetty.pkcs12
import pkcs12 cert (alias becomes 1)
keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore jetty.pkcs12 -srcstoretype PKCS12 -destkeystore keystore
(I backed up the keystore then deleted the original key. I did this while troubleshooting and this may or may not be required by Jetty.)
keytool -delete -keystore keystore -alias jettykey
sudo cp keystore /usr/share/jetty/etc/
sudo vi /usr/share/jetty/etc/jetty-ssl.xml
Modify your.store.password, your.key.password, and your.trust.password accordingly. If you want to obfuscate it, use
java -cp /usr/share/jetty/lib/jetty.jar:/usr/share/jetty/lib/jetty-util.jar org.mortbay.jetty.security.Password <your.password>
Indicate to Jetty to load the jetty-ssl.xml file.
sudo echo "/etc/jetty/jetty-ssl.xml" >> /etc/jetty/jetty.conf
sudo /sbin/iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 443 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8443
(Also modify Amazon EC2 security group to allow 443)
sudo service jetty start
If you happen to work with Jetty 9.3 then you should change configuration in start.d/ssl.ini:
jetty.sslContext.keyStorePath=mystore.jks
jetty.sslContext.keyStorePassword=X
jetty.sslContext.keyManagerPassword=X
jetty.sslContext.trustStorePath=mystore.jks
jetty.sslContext.trustStorePassword=X
Where:
mystore.jks is your store generated with the keytool
X is your password in plain text (I would recommend skipping obfuscation as it only gives you false security)
The store is exactly the same as you would generate for Tomcat. Even if you used different Java version to generate the keystore that should not be a problem.
When trying on Windows with Jetty as Maven plugin the following steps can help:
pom.xml
<plugin>
<groupId>org.mortbay.jetty</groupId>
<artifactId>jetty-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>8.1.11.v20130520</version>
<configuration>
<scanIntervalSeconds>10</scanIntervalSeconds>
<webApp>
<contextPath>/yourappcontext</contextPath>
</webApp>
<connectors>
<connector implementation="org.eclipse.jetty.server.nio.SelectChannelConnector">
<port>9090</port>
<maxIdleTime>1</maxIdleTime>
</connector>
<connector implementation="org.eclipse.jetty.server.ssl.SslSocketConnector">
<port>9443</port>
<keystore>src/test/resources/keystore</keystore>
<keyPassword>123456</keyPassword>
<password>123456</password>
</connector>
</connectors>
</configuration>
</plugin>
Generate key/certificate using the JDK tool keytool:
keytool -keystore keystore -alias jetty -genkey -keyalg RSA
This command will generate a file keystore which we need to put at the following (or what ever you like until it is configured in the keystore element) path src/test/resources/keystore.
