- Open Command Prompt.
- Go to the directory where JRE is installed (for example, C:/Program Files/Java/jre8/bin).
Run the following Keytool command to create a Keystore.
For Windows:
keytool.exe -genseckey -keystore <Keystore_path> -storetype <store_type> -storepass <Keystore_password> -keyalg AES -keysize 256 -alias <alias_name> -keypass <Key_password>
For Linux:
keytool -genseckey -keystore <Keystore_path> -storetype <store_type> -storepass <Keystore_password> -keyalg AES -keysize 256 -alias <alias_name> -keypass <Key_password>
where,
<Keystore_path> is the location of the Keystore. If the Keystore does not exist, the tool will create a new store.<store_type> is the type of store. Only JCEKS is supported.
<Keystore_password> is the password related to the Keystore.
<alias_name> is the name to be given to the newly created key.
<Key_password> is the password protecting the use of the key.
The Keystore is generated at the specified location.
Exit from the Command Prompt.

If due to any reason if you have not encrypted the existing data and have executed the transaction with encryption enabled, then in the repository folder the data will be a combination of plaintext and encrypted text. Therefore, you have encrypted must encrypt plaintext separately, to . To do this:
- Move all the plaintext data in a separate folder.
- Encrypt the folder using the Encryption Utilityutility.
- After the records are encrypted successfully, copy the data of the encrypted folder in the repository.
