I am trying to setup and install a SSL cert into TomCat

keytool -certreq -keyalg RSA -alias CFCU -file certreq.csr -keystore TCIKey.jks

keytool -genkey -alias CFCU -keyalg RSA -keystore TCIKey.jks -keysize 2048


Upload the cotents for the certreq.csr to Verisign

Download the .p7b file from Verisign.

keytool -import -alias CFCU -keystore TCIKey.jks -trustcacerts -file cert.p7b

Moved, cert.p7b,certreq.csr,TCIKey.jks to the conf folder in Tomcatt.

<Connector
className="org.apache.tomcat.service.PoolTcpConnector">
<Parameter name="handler"
value="org.apache.tomcat.service.http.HttpConnectionHandler"/>
<Parameter name="port" value="443"/>
<Parameter name="socketFactory"
value="org.apache.tomcat.net.SSLSocketFactory"/>
<Parameter name="keystore" value="conf/TCIkey.jks"/>
<Parameter name="keypass" value="XXXXX"/>
<Parameter name="clientAuth" value="false"/>
</Connector>
From there I restart the Tomcat Services

And nothing when I go to

https://certname.domain

Im not sure what I am missing any help would be great.

Thank You

You do not need to copy the csr or cert files into Tomcat. The keytool imports the required information straight into its database, and Tomcat accesses that database for certificate information.

Often, you'll need not only your own certificate to be imported, but also one or 2 intermediary certs that have to be imported as well. This forms a "chain of trust" where the user's browser has a master cert on file, and that master cert vouches for the top-level intermediate cert, which vouches for the second-level intermediate cert, which vouches for your server's cert.

You should have been provided with information on these additional certs by your cert provider.

SSL is fairly easy to get going on Tomcat. The official Tomcat SSL docs are pretty clear, and the logs will contain error messages that are fairly helpful in case you do anything wrong.

Actually, I'm not sure what that "SSLSocketFactory" is all about.

Standard Tomcat SSL confiiguration in server.xml looks like this:


The prototype is already present, commented out, in the server.xml that comes with Tomcat. I'm using the cert alias "tomcat" for my security cert, which is the default alias name. Otherwise I would also have supplied an explicit alias name in the Connector configuration.
