Goal

How to get past the following error while importing an already existing certificate to a new Java KeyStore (JKS) ?

keytool -importcert -v -noprompt -alias wlskeystore -file server.txt -keystore wls_identity.jks -storepass
Enter key password for <wlskeystore>
keytool error: java.lang.Exception: Public keys in reply and keystore don't match
java.lang.Exception: Public keys in reply and keystore don't match

       at sun.security.tools.keytool.Main.run(Main.java:391)
       at sun.security.tools.keytool.Main.main(Main.java:384)

Is there a way to reuse the same cert or would a whole new certificate be needed?
