Common Keytool Commands
Keytool is a management tool for security keys and certificates in a Java environment. It manages a keystore (quite a database that can hold multiple certificates of up to $ s) in the chain of certificates associated with them, which stores the private key and validates the corresponding public key.

Keytool Common commands:
Check for a KeyStore

Keytool-list-v-keystore C:\server.jks

Check the contents of a KeyStore

Keytool-list-v-keystore C:\server.jks

Add a trust root certificate to the KeyStore file

Keytool-import-alias newroot-file Root.cer-keystore Server.jks

Import certificate signed by CA

Keytool-import-keystore C:\server.jks-alias Tomcat-file C:\cert.txt

Export a certificate file from KeyStore

Keytool-export-alias Myssl-keystore Server.jks-rfc-file Server.cer
* Note: "-RFC" means output files in base64 or binary output.

Remove a certificate from KeyStore

Keytool-delete-keystore Server.jks-alias Tomcat
* Note: A certificate with the alias Tomcat is removed.
