How to create a certificate into a PKCS12 keystore with keytool?

Question

I wanted to create a certificate into a PKCS12 keystore format with keytool program.

The keystore has extension .pfx.

How do I achieve this?

Answer 1

If the keystore is PKCS12 type (.pfx) you have to specify it with -storetype PKCS12 (line breaks added for readability):

keytool -genkey -alias  
    -keystore 
    -storetype PKCS12 
    -keyalg RSA 
    -storepass  
    -validity 730 
    -keysize 2048
