Error description

  • Error Message: keytool error:  Input not an X.509 certificate
    .
    Stack Trace: N/A
    .
    

Local fix

  • The workaround is converting the input to ASCII
    

Problem summary

  • I am trying to import a server CA certificate (generated on
    z/OS)  to
    the client under USS on the same system using the following
    command:
    hwkeytool -importcert -file db.cacert -trustcacerts -keystore
    myTrustStore -alias db_ca
    and got the exception:
    keytool error: java.lang.Exception: Input not an X.509
    certificate
    However, when I import the same CA certificate to a Windows
    machine,
    the import worked successfully.
    

Problem conclusion

  • This defect will be fixed in:
    6.0.0 SR12
    6.0.1 SR4
    7.0.0 SR3
    5.0.0 SR15
    .
    Add support for reading EBCDIC certificates in addition to ASCII
    certificates to hwkeytool.
