Url to download java code : https://github.com/resatz/InstallCert/blob/master/InstallCert.java
Usage: Need to compile, first: javac InstallCert.java
Access server, and retrieve certificate
java InstallCert [host]:[port]
Extract certificate from created jssecacerts keystore
keytool -exportcert -alias [host]-1 -keystore jssecacerts -storepass changeit -file [host].cer
Import certificate into system keystore
keytool -importcert -alias [host] -keystore [path to system keystore] -storepass changeit -file [host].cer
# Example:
java InstallCert woot.com:443
Loading KeyStore /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.26/jre/lib/security/cacerts...

Certificate was added to keystore
Generating:
Generate a Java keystore and key pair:
keytool -genkey -alias mydomain -keyalg RSA -keystore keystore.jks -keysize 2048
Generate a certificate signing request (CSR) for an existing Java keystore:
keytool -certreq -alias mydomain -keystore keystore.jks -file mydomain.csr
Generate a keystore and self-signed certificate:
keytool -genkey -keyalg RSA -alias selfsigned -keystore keystore.jks -storepass password -validity 360 -keysize 2048
Importing:
Import a intermediate CA certificate to an existing Java keystore:
keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias intermediate -file intermediate.crt -keystore keystore.jks
Import a root CA certificate to an existing Java keystore:
keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias root -file root.crt -keystore keystore.jks
Import a signed SSL primary certificate to an existing Java keystore:
keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias mydomain -file mydomain.crt -keystore keystore.jks
Java Keytool Commands for Conversion:
If you need to change the type of keystore.
PFX keystore to JKS keystore:
keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore mypfxfile.pfx -srcstoretype pkcs12 -destkeystore newjkskeystore.jks -deststoretype JKS
JKS keystore to PFX keystore:
keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore myjksfile.jks -srcstoretype JKS -deststoretype PKCS12 -destkeystore newpfxkeystore.pfx
Java Keytool Commands for Checking:
If you need to check the information within a certificate, or Java keystore, use these commands.
Check a stand-alone certificate:
keytool -printcert -v -file mydomain.crt
Check which certificates are in a Java keystore:
keytool -list -v -keystore keystore.jks
Check a particular keystore entry using an alias:
keytool -list -v -keystore keystore.jks -alias mydomain
Other Java Keytool Commands:
Delete a certificate from a Java Keytool keystore:
keytool -delete -alias mydomain -keystore keystore.jks
Change a Java keystore password:
keytool -storepasswd -new newstorepass -keystore keystore.jks
Export a certificate from a keystore:
keytool -export -alias mydomain -file mydomain.crt -keystore keystore.jks
List Trusted CA Certs:
keytool -list -v -keystore $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/cacerts
Import New CA into Trusted Certs:
keytool -import -trustcacerts -file /path/to/ca/ca.pem -alias mydomain -keystore $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/cacerts
