Installation Instructions for Tomcat

This document provides instructions for installing SSL Certificates. If you are unable to use these instructions for your server, VeriSign recommends that you contact your software vendor or an organisation that supports Tomcat.

Premium and Intranet Edition SSL Certificates

If you are installing a Managed PKI for SSL Premium Edition or a Managed PKI for SSL Intranet Certificate, you need to first install the intermediate CA (‘intermediate.crt’) provided by your administrator.

  1. Save as: <filename_of_the_chain_certificate>
  2. Use the following command to import the Intermediate CA: 
    keytool -import -alias root -keystore <your_keystore_filename> -trustcacerts -file <filename_of_the_chain_certificate> 

Managed PKI for SSL Administrators: how to find your Intermediate CA.

Install the SSL Certificate

When your Managed PKI for SSL Administrator has approved your request you will receive an email from VeriSign that contains your certificate. If the certificate is an attachment (Cert.cer), you can use the file. If the certificate is in the body of the email, copy and paste it into a text file (such as OriginalCert.txt) using Vi or Notepad. Do not use Microsoft Word or other word processing programs that may add characters. Confirm that there are no extra lines or spaces in the file.

  1. Enter the following command to import your SSL Certificate: 
    keytool -import -alias <your_alias> -keystore <your_keystore_filename> -trustcacerts -file <your_certificate_filename>
