KeyStore Explorer Reviews and Details

Social recommendations and mentions

• If OpenSSL Were a GUI

  Actually, the silly example has way better discoverability than most CLI software, especially if every option had tooltips illustrating what it's for in more detail. For an actually good example of adjacent software, have a look at Keystore Explorer: https://keystore-explorer.org/ I do manage my own CA for some development servers with it, way less of a headache than trying to remember a bunch of arbitrary... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Webtop – Alpine,Ubuntu,Fedora,and Arch containers containing full desktop envs

  Honestly, the most approachable way will be to use something like Keystore Explorer: https://keystore-explorer.org/ Alternatively, this guide focuses on Apache2 configuration but also goes through the certs https://www.openlogic.com/blog/mutual-authentication-using-apache-and-web-client (it’s a little dated though) Here’s also something a bit more recent for Nginx https://darshit.dev/posts/two-way-ssl-nginx/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• A sensible Java key management tool for normal people

  What about https://keystore-explorer.org/ ? My experience with that tool has been good though I don't know if it covers all the corner cases discussed. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Caddy 2.8

  > I still have nightmares about trying to set up SSL with nginx and my own self-managed certificates. For anyone who needs to run their own CA (which I'm now doing for my homelab), I've found that using GUI software like KeyStore explorer is a sufficiently easy and lazy way of doing that, which actually works well, both for securing regular sites, as well as doing mTLS: https://keystore-explorer.org/ > Shoutout to... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• make csr file from cert.pem

  Yes, that's clear but you need the private key to create a CSR. I'm guessing since you are using a Java app you should either have a JKS (old fashioned) or a P12 (pkcs12) keystore, one of those should contain the private key, you can use keystore explorer to extract the data.

  Personally, I've also had decent experiences with Keystore Explorer: https://keystore-explorer.org/ I actually wrote about using it on my blog, which has plenty of screenshots: https://blog.kronis.dev/tutorials/lets-run-our-own-ca. - Source: Hacker News / almost 4 years ago

• If OpenSSL Were a GUI

  I... Kind of like it? Not the fact that using such a GUI would be almost impossible, like the humorous example of an "engineer oriented UI" in the Silicon Valley series https://www.reddit.com/r/SiliconValleyHBO/comments/4nvvnl/pied_pipers_easytouse_tools/ which might be confusing for most people. But rather the fact that all of the complexity the software has is laid bare, so that nobody could mistakenly assume... - Source: Hacker News / about 4 years ago

• Should you use Let's Encrypt for internal hostnames?

  > Several comments here mention running your own CA. You know, I feel like more people wouldn't have a problem with actually doing this if it weren't so challenging and full of sometimes unpleasant CLI commands. To me openssl and similar packages to it feel like comparing the UX of tar vs docker CLIs, where the former is nigh unusable, as humorously explained here: https://xkcd.com/1168/ In comparison, have a look... - Source: Hacker News / over 4 years ago
