   <Your directory>%JAVA_HOME%\bin\keytool -import -alias [alias name] -file [file name.cer] -keystore [truststorename.keystore] -storepass [storepassname]
   
   For example, to generate the truststore in the directory D:\WorkStudio\keystore, provide the command:

   After the keystore and the truststore have been created, they may be used within the configuration.
   

   In the above example, mailserver is partner's alias. To configure POP3, the mailserver should be provided as the value in the alias textbox within the SignatureConfiguration panel.
