importing a globalsign certificate generated via an openssl CSR into the openssl keystore + exporting as PKCS12



Hi,

I have the following problem:

I created a CSR via openssl, sent it to globalsign, and they sent us back a
certificate. I managed to use this certificate into apache by specifying
both private key and this certificate via the httpd.conf file. All fine and
well.

Now, I need to use the same certificate (wildcard certificate) on a JES (Sun
Java Entreprise System) application. For this to work, I apparently need to
import this globalsign certificate into the openssl keystore, and then
export the certificate and my private key as a PKCS12 file.

Then I can use a pk12util import tool from the JES application to import
both private key and certificate into this JES keystore.

But I'm struggling with the import of the certificate in the openssl
keystore.

I've been googling but didn't find the answer, I also must admit I'm not too
knowledgeable about certificates ...

Can someone help me out by showing me an example 'openssl' commandline to
import and then export as a PKCS12 file ?

Thank you,

Tom.
