The KEYSTORE file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the KEYSTORE files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the KEYSTORE file on each system platform.
What is KEYSTORE file?
The file with the extension KEYSTORE is the Database Files file type. It was designed by Oracle Corporation. Additionally, the Database Files category contains 403 of other files. Java Keytool Key Database is supported by 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. It is recommended to use Java Development Kit (JDK) to handle this file. This is a program created by Oracle Corporation. There are also 1 alternative programs to handle the KEYSTORE file. You can use Java in case Java Development Kit (JDK) cannot be used.
How to open KEYSTORE file?
The main problem with Java Keytool Key Database is that the KEYSTORE file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that KEYSTORE files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the KEYSTORE file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Java Development Kit (JDK)
The first step is to check if the computer has the Java Development Kit (JDK) program installed. This can be achieved by typing Java Development Kit (JDK) into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file KEYSTORE with Java Development Kit (JDK). Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open KEYSTORE files.
Programs to open KEYSTORE file
Remember to download programs supporting KEYSTORE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Java Development Kit (JDK) with KEYSTORE files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the KEYSTORE file still does not use the Java Development Kit (JDK) program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Java Development Kit (JDK) application as the default for handling the KEYSTORE file.
Step 3. Update Java Development Kit (JDK) to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Java Development Kit (JDK) program with the Java Keytool Key Database file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Oracle Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the KEYSTORE file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The KEYSTORE file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the KEYSTORE file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the KEYSTORE file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover KEYSTORE files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the KEYSTORE files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair KEYSTORE file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Oracle Corporation
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file KEYSTORE except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move KEYSTORE to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file KEYSTORE to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
