What characters are valid in an ‘alias’ for Java 7’s keytool command?
I found this page – http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/tools/solaris/keytool.html – but it doesn’t seem to explain in detail what’s a valid alias.
The source for
keytooldoesn’t validate it at all, it just calls methods ofKeyStore, so it comes down to whatKeyStorewill accept, which appears to be any string, subject to the case-sensitivity caveat in its Javadoc.
