Tomcat (Keytool) Java (Generic) SSL Certificate Installation Instructions
Generating a CSR Certificate in Tomcat (Keytool) Java (Generic)
Installing the certificate to your Java Keystore:
1. First, Download the SSL Certificate file which is normally saved as your_domain_name.p7b from the Account to the same
folder in which your Keystore is located. The .p7b file has ALL Certificates needed for the Keystore.
NOTE: You must install the certificate to the same Keystore in which you used to create and generate your CSR.
If you try to install it to a different Keystore you will receive an error message.
2. Next, to install the certificate file enter the following command: keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias server
-file your_domain_name.p7b -keystore your_site_name.jks
3. Once the command has been entered, and the certificate installed properly you will then receive a message stating,
"Certificate reply was installed in keystore."
4. Next you may be instructed to "trust the certificate" if so, choose the option "Y" or "Yes." The Keystore file
(your_site_name.jks) has now been installed and is ready for use on your individual server.
5. At this point, you will be able to configure the server and begin using it.
