Issue/Introduction

We have to add another certificate to the java keystore. The password is not currently known and we do not have the ability to change either the keystore file or the password from it's original configuration. Can we recover the keystore/truststore password from DSeries? 

Environment

Release : 12.3

Resolution

We cannot retrieve the unencrypted value of the truststore password. You can try using the keytool command to list the contents - trying the default java truststore password: changeit

Example (from de home dir): ./jre/bin/keytool -list -keystore jre/lib/security/cacerts 

If you are not able to find the correct truststore password then you will need to create a new truststore and add everything that you need to it.
