Java Code Signing: Download certificate & sign code

Home / Help Centre / SSL Certificates Help / Java Code Signing: Download certificate & sign code

After verifying your certificate request, you can download your certificate files and use them to sign your Java code.

Download your certificate

Go to your ELITE WEB Co. product page.
Select SSL Certificates and select Manage for the certificate you want to download.
Under Download Certificate, select a Server type and then select Download Zip File.

Move your certificate file

Unzip the ZIP file you downloaded.
Open the unzipped folder and locate the file ending in -SHA2.pem.
(Optional) Rename the PEM file to something easier to type, for example mycert.pem.
Move the PEM file to the place where you created your keystore.

For Windows users, this is the bin directory of your JDK installation—for example:

C:\Program Files\java\jdkversion number\bin

Windows-only preparation

If you’re using Windows, you must complete the following steps before you can install the certificate and sign your code.

Run cmd as an administrator.
Move to your JDK installation’s bin directory:

cd C:\Program Files\java\jdkversion number\bin

Install the certificate

Through your command line, navigate to the directory where you created your keystore. (Windows users should already be here.)
Install your certificate:

keytool -importcert -file mycert.pem -keystore codesignstore

3. Enter your keystore’s password.
4. Type yes that you want to trust the certificate, and then press enter.

Sign your code

Sign your code:

jarsigner -verbose -keystore codesignstore -tsa http://tsa.starfieldtech.com/ your jar file.jar codesigncert

Windows users might need to use the full paths to their keystore (JKS) and JAR files.

Note: You must use the http://tsa.starfieldtech.com time stamp authority.

2. Enter your keystore’s password.
3. Verify your code is signed.

jarsigner -verify -verbose -certs your jar file.jar

If everything worked, you’ll see jar verified.

You should expect to see “This jar contains entries whose certificate chain is not validated.” The presence of this warning does not indicate that your certificate won’t work.

Next step

That’s it! You can now start distributing your signed code.
