Salesforce client certificate authentication

Hi,
 

I downloaded the salesforce client certificate from salesforce website, but when I use keytool to import this certificate to keystore. the error message comes as below.

keytool -import -alias sforce -file sfdc_client.cert -keystore trust.keystore
Enter keystore password:  tangquan
keytool error: java.lang.Exception: Input not an X.509 certificate

but it is successful with the verisign public certificate. the salesforce certificate ends with cert file extension, but verisign's ends with cer file extension. It will be helpful if you guys provide information on this.

Not able to create keystore for client certificate downloaded from SF.

I am trying to create a keystore (to be used in my web service client). I downloaded the client certificate from sales force and tried to run the keytool application.

Command:

keytool -import -file sfdc-client.cert -keystore sfdcclient.keystore -storepass sfdcclient -alias sfdc

Got the error java.lang.Exception: Input not an X.509 certificate

BTW I am using 1.4.1_05. Thought it might be the jre version. I remember reading that early version of 1.4 had some issues. So Tried doing the same thing with 1.5. Still got the same error.

Please help.

Salesforce Client Certificate

Hi

I would like to use Salesforce client certificate to validate the identity of outbond messages sent from Salesforce. How can I do this and is there an example?

Sorry, but the API Developer's Guide does not have much information on this.

Thanks,
Ben
