`

## Add Self-Signed SSL Certificate
Now create the SSL Certificate in Windows using Keytool.

C:\> keytool -genkey -alias searchblox -keyalg RSA -keystore "C:\searchblox.jks" -keysize 2048
`

Enter the following details: Enter keystore password: Re-enter new password: What is your first and last name? [Unknown]: JJ What is the name of your organizational unit?

Important Note
JKS keystore uses a proprietary format. It is always recommended to migrate to PKCS12, which is an industry standard format, using the command: `
keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore C:\searchblox.jks -destkeystore C:\searchblox.jks -deststoretype pkcs12
`
Now convert the .jks file into .pfx format by running the command: `
C:\>keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore "C:\searchblox.jks" -destkeystore "C:\searchblox.p12" -srcstoretype JKS -deststoretype PKCS12 -deststorepass admin@1234 -srcalias Searchblox -destalias Searchblox
`

The result is: `
Importing keystore C:\searchblox.jks to C:\searchblox.p12… Enter source keystore password:
