If you don’t already have a PFX file, please see the Before you begin<\/a><\/strong> tab.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Follow these instructions to create a Java Key Store (JKS) file from your PFX file:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

To create the JKS file, you’ll need access to Java’s Keytool utility, which is bundled into Room Alert Manager. It’s located here by default:
C:\\Program Files\\AVTECH Room Alert Manager\\jre\\bin\\keytool.exe<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
