Keystore and certificate and client application
Hi all,
I exported a certificate from the Internet Explorer of a customer of mine;i have been asked to specify a password and then i saved the certificate into a directory of my pc.
Well, now i have to write a client application to connect to the site of my customer using his certificate.
After reading something about SSL and Java i wnat to know if the following steps are right or not :
- I have to create a new keystore using a program
- I have to import in the keystore the certificate
- I have to write the client application which read the keystore i created and then invoke the website of my customer.
Are these steps right ?
I found the instructions to do the previuos steps, but i wanted the confirm that they were right.
I wrote that exporting the certificate i have been asked to specify a password, could this password be anything or do ihave to ask my customer a particular password.
Moreover, doi have to use the same password even i create the new keystore ?
Anyway, cheers.
Stefano
