Curl with Java KeyStore

Curl doesn't have support for java keystore file, so therefor the file should be converted to a PEM format. It consists of the following multiple steps:

  1. Convert keystore to p12 file
  2. Convert p12 file to pem file
  3. Run curl command with pem files

Convert keystore to p12 file

keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore truststore.jks -destkeystore truststore.p12 -srcstoretype JKS -deststoretype PKCS12

Convert p12 file to pem file

openssl pkcs12 -in truststore.p12 -out truststore.pem

Run curl command with pem files

Example curl request with loading trusted certificates:

curl secret --cacert truststore.pem https://localhost:8443/api/hello

Example curl request for mutual authentication, loading trusted certificates and loading private and public key of the client:

Repeat step 1 (if applicable) and step 2 for the identity.jks which contains the keypair.

curl --cert identity.pem --cacert truststore.pem https://localhost:8443/api/hello
