Java keystore error 'Input not an X.509 certificate' during trial Thingworx foundation installation

I'm following the install documentation for thingworx foundation and I get to the step where I need to create a self-signed certificate. Unfortunately my Java keystore won't except the certificate that is created. It is rejected with this error > java.lang.Exception: Input not an X.509 certificate"

I've tried this solution https://community.ptc.com/t5/ThingWorx-Developers/keytool-error-java-lang-Exception-Input-not-an-X-509-certificate/td-p/623652 but the thingworx foundation installer won't accept the certificate file created.

Any ideas?

Hi @Chris-P.

 

This article may be helpful.  In addition, you can bypass SSL during the initial installation and configure it after you have validated that ThingWorx is running successfully.

Hi Sharon,

 

Thanks for your suggestion, it works as far as resolving that certificate error, but when I start thingworx foundation by going to https://localhost:8443/Thingworx in chrome an unsafe connection warning is shown. I can login and connect to Thingworx but the connection is unsecure.
