How to automate Keystore generation using the java keystore tool? w/o user interaction


I am trying to automate keystore generation using the Java keystore tool. The command I am using is :

keytool -keystore keystore -alias jetty -genkey -keyalg RSA

But after this command, user is required to enter certain inputs as follows:

Enter keystore password:  password
What is your first and last name?  
[Unknown]:  jetty.mortbay.org  
What is the name of your organizational unit?  
[Unknown]:  Jetty  
What is the name of your organization?  
[Unknown]:  Mort Bay Consulting Pty. Ltd.  
What is the name of your City or Locality?  
[Unknown]:  
What is the name of your State or Province?  
[Unknown]:  
What is the two-letter country code for this unit?  
[Unknown]:  
Is CN=jetty.mortbay.org, OU=Jetty, O=Mort Bay Consulting Pty. Ltd.,  
L=Unknown, ST=Unknown, C=Unknown correct?  
[no]:  yes  

Enter key password for <jetty>  
(RETURN if same as keystore password):  password  

Instead of the user entering these values , is there any way of providing these values without user interaction ,either within the command or through a script?

Thanks

  • Try this:

    keytool -genkey -noprompt \
     -alias alias1 \
     -dname "CN=mqttserver.ibm.com, OU=ID, O=IBM, L=Hursley, S=Hants, C=GB" \
     -keystore keystore \
     -storepass password \
     -keypass password \
     -keyalg RSA
