_x000D_ _x000D_ I have this in an ActiveMQ config: I have a pair of X.509 cert and a key file. How do I import those two in order to use them in SSL and SSL+stomp connectors? All examples I could google always generate the key themselves, but I already have a key. I have tried keytool -import -keystore ./broker.ks -file mycert.crt but this only imports the certificate and not the key file and results in 2009-05-25 13:16:24,270 [localhost:61612] ERROR TransportConnector - Could not accept connection : No available certificate or key corresponds to the SSL cipher suites which are enabled. I have tried concatenating the cert and the key but got the same result. How do I import the key?

_x000D_ Believe or not, keytool does not provide such basic functionality like importing private key to keystore. You can try this workaround with merging PKSC12 file with private key to a keystore. Or just use more user-friendly KeyMan from IBM for keystore handling instead of keytool.exe.
