Alternatives to Sun keytool Utility

  • Portecle is a Java GUI tool that can handle all the keystore and certificate formats I've ever encountered. Very easy to use and recommended if you are uncomfortable with CLI tools.
  • keystore is a CLI tool that has a couple notable improvements on keytool:
    • Support for both PEM and DER-encoded files.
    • You can import a certificate/key pair directly into a keystore. (With keytool, keys never leave the keystore; you generate them, then a corresponding CSR, then import the matching certificate once it is issued.)
