I have a private and a public key.

The private key is not in my .keystore
and I added the public key to .keystore.

I need to sign a .jar file but because the private key is not in the
.keystore file, I cannot sign it and I get an error message:


jarsigner: Certificate chain not found for: alias.  alias must reference a v
alid KeyStore key entry containing a private key and corresponding public key ce
rtificate chain.


How can I sign the JAR file with my keys?

Thanks!

Hi,

type : keytool -keystore .keystore -list -v  and read the name of the alias.

Then, you can sign your jar with the command : 

jarsigner -keystore .keystore -storetype [TYPE] -signedjar
signedJar.jar OriginalJar.jar [ALIAS_NAME]

Hope this help....

Btw, you should read :
