Keystores (and truststores) can be created in a variety of different formats. If you are using Java, the native format supported by the Java tools is JKS, but java also supports PKCS12. Often, configuring the system to support PKCS12 requires an additional step. However, if you are using .Net or other tools, you will often need a keystore in PKCS12 format. The instructions on how to create a keystore above will create a keystore in PKCS12 format. See below for converting this to JKS.
