I have a key store file cacerts under jre/lib/security in which i added a Certicate by using the import command.
There are more than 50 certificates in my keystore. How do i find the alias name of the last imported certificate in the keystore. I want to delete the last added certificate for which i need the alias name. Kindly help.

An alias is specified when you add an entity to the keystore using the -genseckey command to generate a secret key, -genkeypair command to generate a key pair (public and private key) or the -importcert command to add a certificate or certificate chain to the list of trusted certificates.
An alias is an identifying character string, such as mykey or johnkey02 , that distinguishes a key pair from other key pairs stored in the same keystore. An alias must be unique within a single keystore.
The Key Alias is a just a commonplace name that points to a specific certificate. You can create one for each release, or just use the same one for all your apps. I suggest creating one for each app, and making sure you back up multiple copies.
You can list all certificates in the keystore like
on Linux
keytool -list -v -keystore keystore.jks | grep "Alias name\|Creation date" on Windows
keytool -list -v -keystore keystore.jks | findstr "Alias Creation" Have you tried listing all certificates.
keytool -list -v -keystore keys.store It may be in the order they were added.
Also if you added the certificate via command prompt or terminal check history.
