Unable to generate keystore using JDK6 but able to generate using JDK5


I am trying to generate keystore for my application using keytool command follows:

keytool -genkey -alias tomcat -keystore tomcat.keystore -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 < keystore.data.txt

And it's working fine with JDK5 and not working with JDK6. FYI:

When executing with JDK5

Enter keystore password:  What is your first and last name?
[Unknown]:  What is the name of your organizational unit?
[Unknown]:  What is the name of your organization?
[Unknown]:  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=tpserver-hostname, OU=MyCompany, O=MyOrg., L=MyCity, ST=MyState (ST), C=IN correct?
[no]:
Enter key password for <tomcat>
   (RETURN if same as keystore password):

When executing same with JDK6

Enter keystore password:  Re-enter new password: They don't match. Try again
Enter keystore password:  Re-enter new password: They don't match. Try again
Enter keystore password:  Re-enter new password: They don't match. Try again
Too many failures - try later

Please Help me.


Solution

  • Yes, you are correc. 'Re-enter new password' is added since JDK6. So you have to enter after password
