I’m following Ondro’s tutorial " Securing Payara Server with Custom SSL Certificate". I imported Apache keys to a pkcs12 keystore (using the Payara master password), and I can see the data with “openssl pkcs12 -in lyonlabs.p12 -info -password pass:\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* -noout”. But when I issue “keytool -list -keystore lyonlabs.p12” and enter the same password, I get “keytool error: java.io.IOException: keystore password was incorrect”.

What am I doing wrong? I tried keytool in both JDK11 and JDK17.
