Hi zambizzi ,
Sorry to hear that... But the problems you faced were all due the fact that Keytool in JDK5 did not have an easy way to import a Pair (i.e create an Entry type: keyEntry). So when you were using keytool to export and import from : myks.keystore, what was getting exported and imported was only the certificate and not the private key.
if you had done a listing of your keystore after the export and import you would see
Alias name: mykeyalias
Creation date: May 25, 2006
Entry type: trustedCertEntry
As Opposed to
Alias name: mykeyalias
Creation date: May 25, 2006
Entry type: keyEntry
And that IMO was the root cause of the error :
java.io.IOException: Alias name mykeyalias does not identify a key entry
JDK6 Keytool provides a richer set of options and specifically you can import your entire keystore myks.keystore into another keystore (the GF keystore.jks) using the command
keytool -importkeystore command.
Thanks.
