Use keytool to import intermediate and root certificates into AWS CloudHSM key store - AWS CloudHSM

To import a CA certificate in AWS CloudHSM, you must enable verification of a full certificate chain on a newly imported certificate. The following command shows an example.

Linux
$ keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias rootCAcert \
	-file rootCAcert.cert -keystore example_keystore.store \
	-storetype CLOUDHSM \
	-J-classpath '-J/opt/cloudhsm/java/*'
Windows
PS C:\> keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias rootCAcert `
	-file rootCAcert.cert -keystore example_keystore.store `
	-storetype CLOUDHSM `
	-J-classpath '-J"C:\Program Files\Amazon\CloudHSM\java\*"'

$ keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias rootCAcert \
	-file rootCAcert.cert -keystore example_keystore.store \
	-storetype CLOUDHSM \
	-J-classpath '-J/opt/cloudhsm/java/*'

If you connect multiple client instances to your AWS CloudHSM cluster, importing a certificate on one client instance’s key store won't automatically make the certificate available on other client instances. You must import the certificate on each client instance.
