legalName {
    organisationUnit = "R3 Corda"
    organisation = "R3 LTD"
    locality = "London"
    country = "GB"
}
# legalName = "C=GB, L=London, O=R3 LTD, OU=R3 Corda"
email = "test@email.com"
compatibilityZoneURL = "http://doorman.url.com"
networkRootTrustStorePath = "networkRootTrustStore.jks"

networkRootTrustStorePassword = "password"
keyStorePassword = "password"
trustStorePassword = "password"

##Running the registration tool

java -jar registration-tool-<<version>>.jar --config-file <<config file path>>

Private key copy tool

The key copy tool copies the private key from the source keystore to the destination keystore, it's similar to the importkeystore option in Java keytool with extra support for Corda's key algorithms.
This is useful for provisioning keystores for distributed notaries.

Usage

java -jar registration-tool-<<version>>.jar --importkeystore [options]

Example

Copy distributed-notary-private-key from distributed notaries keystore to node's keystore.

java -jar registration-tool-<<version>>.jar \
--importkeystore \
--srckeystore notaryKeystore.jks \
--destkeystore node.jks \
--srcstorepass notaryPassword \
--deststorepass nodepassword \
--srcalias distributed-notary-private-key

--help prints a list of all the available options.
