B.5.3 Managing Certificates
MEKeyTool manages the public keys of certificate authorities (CAs), making it
functionally similar to the
keytool
utility that comes with the J2SE SDK. The keys
can be used to facilitate secure HTTP communication over SSL (HTTPS).
Before using MEKeyTool, you must first have access to a Java Cryptography
Extension (JCE) keystore. You can create one using the J2SE keytool utility; see
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/tooldocs/win32/keytool.html
for more information.
To run MEKeyTool, open a command prompt, change the current directory to
{toolkit}\bin, and enter the following command:
mekeytool.exe <command>
The commands are as follows:
-help
Print the usage instructions for MEKeyTool.
-import -alias <alias> [-keystore <JCEkeystore>] [-storepass
<storepass>] -domain <domain_name>
Import a public key into the ME keystore from the given JCE keystore using
the given JCE keystore password. The default ME keystore is
{toolkit}\appdb\_main.ks and the default JCE keystore is
{user.home}\.keystore.
-list
List the keys in the ME keystore, including the owner and validity period for
each. The ME keystore is {toolkit}\appdb\_main.ks.
-delete (-owner <owner> | -number <key number>)
Delete a key from the given ME keystore with the given owner. The ME
keystore is {toolkit}\appdb\_main.ks.
Note – The J2ME Wireless Toolkit contains an ME keystore called _main.ks,
which is located in the appdb subdirectory. This keystore includes all the
certificates that exist in the default J2SE keystore, which comes with the J2SE SDK
installation.
