Manual Addition of Root DigiCert CA to the Trusted Certificate Database

Written by Petr Pech

Valid up to version 2024.7.0; from version 2024.7.0 onwards, Java 11 is included in the installation.

If it is not possible to update Java to Java 7 update 101 (1.7.0_101) or Java 8 update 91 (1.8.0_91) or later, there is an option to manually add the DigiCert CA.

The command to perform the installation:

keytool -keystore "%JAVA_HOME%\jre\lib\security\cacerts" -storepass changeit -importcert -trustcacerts -alias digicertglobalrootg2 -file CA-FILE.crt

Please note — for the command to work, the JDK tool must be installed (the installation cannot proceed without it).
