Unable to send certificate with Request - Keystore

Hi,

I am unable to successfully send my requests with client certificates.

The exceptions I am getting are -

1. ERROR: org.apache.commons.ssl.ProbablyBadPasswordException: Probably bad JKS-Key password: java.security.UnrecoverableKeyException: Cannot recover key

2. ERROR: java.security.KeyStoreException: Uninitialized keystore

Scenario:

I have received a .crt and .key files (from third party), to be sent along with our requests

 

Postman - Able to successfully send requests with -crt and -key file.

Ready API - Failed.

 

Until now I have tried the following -

1. Converted the .crt-key files to ---> .p12 file (using OpenSSL) ---> .jks file (using Keytool).  No errors, successfully created .jks file

2. Cross - verified if the keystore file can be opened with the password (Yes - correct password) and if the Keystore contains a file within it (Yes)

3. Tried to set and use the keystore accordingly uising (Failed with above exceptions)

What am I missing here? Any input would be really appreciated.

 

Thanks!
