Unable to import certificate, getting keytool error : keytool error: java.lang.Exception: Input not

User_ANJ9J

I am trying to import a SHA256 certificate in cacerts using keytools. I am getting below error, unable to proceed further, its an big impediment for us. Can some one advise me how to fix the issue.

[[email protected] tmp]# /opt/beasys/bea1212/jdk1.7.0_51/jre/bin/keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias dbtmstr256 -file /tmp/DBTMSTR.CER -keystore /opt/beasys/bea1212/jdk1.7.0_51/jre/lib/security/cacerts -v

Enter keystore password:

keytool error: java.lang.Exception: Input not an X.509 certificate

java.lang.Exception: Input not an X.509 certificate

JDK version : jdk1.7.0_51

Begin and end certificate looks good and i verified the certificate with this command : Verify Certificate : openssl x509 -in /tmp/certname.cer -text and i am getting proper output with all the certificate content.

Thank you.

A number of reasons could lead to that problem. This is described by
