keytool error: java.lang.RuntimeException: Usage error, –storepass is not a legal command

I am getting following error when trying to run below command

keytool error: java.lang.RuntimeException: Usage error, –storepass is not a legal comman

keytool -genkey -dname "CN=apptest2, OU=A, O=te ha,L=Delhi, S=Delhi, C=IN" -alias "ssocertificate" -keyalg RSA -keypass P@ssw0rd -keystore /etc/cas/certificate/portal.keystore –storepass storepass -keyalg "RSA" -ext SAN=dns:apptest2,ip:105.210.22.145

I tried to add double quotes"" for storepass but same exception

Solution

  • The problem is (as the error clearly states), that the program doesn't know the option –storepass (rather than the argument to that option).

    Now the dash – that starts that argument looks suspiciously like an m-dash, rather than a minus-sigen - as expected by any standard argument parser.

    So you should use -storepass rather than –storepass
