How to Create a Wallet with a Self-Signed Certificate and Export the Certificate

Create a Wallet with a Self-Signed Certificate and Export the Certificate

The following steps illustrate creating a wallet, adding a self-signed certificate to it, viewing the wallet and exporting the certificate:

1. Create a wallet

        orapki wallet create -wallet /private/user/orapki_use/root

                                The wallet is created at the location, /private/user/orapki_use/root.

2. Add a self-signed certificate to the wallet

orapki wallet add -wallet /private/user/orapki_use/root -dn 'CN=root_test,C=US' -keysize 2048 -self_signed -validity 3650

This creates a self-signed certificate with a validity of 3650 days. The distinguished name of the subject is CN=root_test,C=US. The key size for the certificate is 2048 bits.

3. View the wallet

orapki wallet display -wallet /private/user/orapki_use/root

This is used to view the certificate contained in the wallet.

4. Export the certificate

orapki wallet export -wallet /private/user/orapki_use/root -dn 'CN=root_test,C=US' -cert /private/user/orapki_use/root/b64certificate.txt

This exports the self-signed certificate to the file, b64certificate.txt. Note that the distinguished name used is the same as in step 2.
