CryptoServer -storepass 12345678 -v 

Here:

• NONE is the keystore for HSM

• PKCS11 is the storetype

3. List the keys using p11tool2.

# /opt/utimaco/bin/p11tool2 Slot=0 LoginUser=12345678 ListObjects 

List Keys output using p11tool2

4. Generate a CSR using Keytool command.

# keytool -certreq -keystore NONE -storetype PKCS11 -storepass 12345678 providername SunPKCS11-CryptoServer -alias tomsslec  -file tomcatec.csr 

Here:

6. Copy the signed certificate along with root CA certificate chain on the tomcat server.

7. Import the signed certificate chain reply using the command below.

# keytool -importcert -trustcacerts -alias tomsslec -file 
/home/tomcat/test_ec.p7b -storetype PKCS11 -keystore NONE -providername SunPKCS11-CryptoServer -storepass 12345678 

Import user certificate into keystore

8. Verify that the keytool command shows the signed certificate as well as root CA certificate in console put below cmd.

# keytool -list -keystore NONE -storetype PKCS11 -providername SunPKCS11-
CryptoServer -storepass 12345678 -v
