| Attribute | Description | Required |
| alias | the alias to add under | Yes. |
| storepass | password for keystore integrity. Must be at least 6 characters long | Yes. |
| keystore | keystore location | No |

| dname | The distinguished name for entity | Yes if dname element unspecified |

Alternatively you can specify the distinguished name by creating a
sub-element named dname and populating it with param elements that
have a name and a value. When using the subelement it is automatically
encoded properly and commas (",") are replaced
with "\,".
The following two examples are identical:
<genkey alias="apache-group" storepass="secret" dname="CN=Ant Group, OU=Jakarta Division, O=Apache.org, C=US"/>
<genkey alias="apache-group" storepass="secret" > <dname> <param name="CN" value="Ant Group"/> <param name="OU" value="Jakarta Division"/> <param name="O" value="Apache.Org"/> <param name="C" value="US"/> </dname> </genkey>
