Our Certificate Authority only gave us a server certificate and private key; how do we make a Java keystore out of it?

Resolution

1. Create a pkcs12 keystore:
   
   openssl pkcs12 -export -in abc.crt -inkey abc.key -out keystore.p12
   
   
2. Convert pkcs12 to jks:
   
   keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore keystore.p12 -srcstoretype PKCS12 -destkeystore keystore.jks  -deststoretype JKS -srcstorepass p12_password -deststorepass jks_password -srcalias myalias -destalias myalias -srckeypass mykeypass -destkeypass mykeypass
