    <title>Setting up the Certificate Authority Certificates for Java</title>

    <para>
      <application>OpenJDK</application> uses its own format for the
      CA certificates. The Java security modules use
      <envar>$JAVA_HOME</envar><filename>/lib/security/cacerts</filename> by
      default. In order to keep all the certificates in one place, we use
      <filename>/etc/ssl/java/cacerts.jks</filename>. That file should be
      generated using the system PKI trust store. The instructions
      on the <xref linkend="make-ca"/> page should be used to update the file
      located in <filename class="directory">/etc/ssl/java</filename>.
      Run the conversion and setup a symlink in the default location as the
      <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user:
    </para>

<screen role="root"><userinput>/usr/sbin/make-ca -g --force &amp;&amp;
ln -sfv /etc/ssl/java/cacerts.jks /opt/jdk/lib/security/cacerts</userinput></screen>

    <para>
      Use the following commands to check if the <filename>cacerts</filename>
      file has been successfully installed:
    </para>

<screen role="root"><userinput>cd /opt/jdk
bin/keytool -list -cacerts</userinput></screen>

    <para>
      At the prompt <computeroutput>Enter keystore password:</computeroutput>,
      enter <userinput>changeit</userinput> (the default) or just press the
      <quote>Enter</quote> key. If the <filename>cacerts</filename> file was
      installed correctly, you will see a list of the certificates with
      related information for each one. If not, you need to reinstall them.
    </para>

    <para>
      If you later install a new JVM, you just have to create the symlink in
      the default location to be able to use the cacerts.
