Hi all,

I'm trying to create a self signed certificate and make it as a root CA. Then, I create another certificate and sign it with that root CA. However, there was a problem while importing the certificate to the server keystore.

Below are the steps -[Which I found online], and I'll show where the error incured:

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Setting up the root CA
-------------------------------------------------------------------


-------------------------------------------------------
setting up the server now
-------------------------------------------------------



The error was in the last line of the commands. It should print something like: Certificate reply was installed in keystore
But instead it prints: Keytool Exception: Failed to establish the chain !!

Please can anyone help? All the solutions I found online are related to real CAs like verisign and thawt, but here I'm trying to create my own CA.
I'm wasting too much time on this problem and couldn't find anything
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
