[java] Keystore change passwords

Question

Hi,

I currently have a keystore, with a particular password that only I should know. I now need to give access to that keystore to someone else, so I would like to either:

1) Change the password, so I can share it with others and let them sign
2) Create a different password and allow them to sign with it.

Is this possible? and - if yes - how?

Answer 1

Keystore only has one password. You can change it using keytool,

keytool -storepasswd -keystore my.keystore

Answer 2

[How can I] Change the password, so I can share it with others and let them sign

Using keytool:

keytool -storepasswd -keystore /path/to/keystore
Enter keystore password:  changeit
New keystore password:  new-password
Re-enter new keystore password:  new-password
