WBLC-08-000211 - Oracle WebLogic must establish a trusted communications path between the user and organization-defined security functions within the information system - Listen Port
Information

$ java utils.ImportPrivateKey -certfile <cert_file> -keyfile <private_key_file> [-keyfilepass <private_key_password>] -keystore <keystore> -storepass <storepass> [-storetype <storetype>] -alias <alias> [-keypass <keypass>]
