For this step, it's a good idea to copy the node's keyStore to a location where the following is applicable:
- You have full access or ownership of it
- You aren't risking corrupting the original
For this example, I'll copy it to the .cassandra directory underneath my home dir (which you may need sudo access to do):
sudo cp conf/keystore ~/.cassandra/keystore
Now, converting the Java keyStore into a PKCS12 keyStore can easily be done:
cd ~/.cassandrakeytool -importkeystore -srckeystore keystore -destkeystore p12keystore -deststoretype PKCS12 -srcstorepass keystorepassword -deststorepass keystorepassword
This will produce a PKCS12 format keyStore file named p12keystore.
