Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Search for | Example | Results |
---|---|---|
A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Search for | Operator | Example |
---|---|---|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
Either word in a topic |
|
|
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

Use keytool to create a certificate request
Applies to User Roles:

You can use the keytool utility provided with the Sun Microsystems™ Java Development Kit to create a certificate request.
To use keytool to create a certificate request:
- Open your operating system's command prompt.
- Change directories to your JDK's bin folder.
- Type the following command to create a client certificate request.
keytool -certreq -alias clients -keystore clientcerts -file smwebtier_certrequest.crs
You can define your own names for the-alias
,-keystore
, and-file
parameters. The names above are examples. - When the keytool utility prompts you, type the Keystore password.
Keytool exports the client certificate key to the file and path you specified with the-file
parameter.
