Installation Instructions- 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 either the vendor of your software or an organisation that supports Tomcat.

Step 1: Install CA Certificate

Secure Site

If you are installing a Secure Site Certificate, you need to first install the Secure Site Intermediate CA Certificate.

Secure Site Pro

If you are installing a Secure Site Pro Certificate, you need to first install the Secure Site Pro Intermediate CA Certificate.

Note to ISP Center Customers: Certificates enrolled through VeriSign's ISP Center do not need the Secure Site Intermediate CA Certificate installed at this time.

Save as: <filename_of_the_chain_certificate>

Use the following command to import the Intermediate CA Certificate

keytool -import -alias root -keystore <your_keystore_filename> -trustcacerts -file <filename_of_the_chain_certificate> 

Step 2: Install the SSL Certificate

VeriSign will email you 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 using Vi or Notepad. Do not use Microsoft Word or other word processing programs that may add characters.

Enter the following command to import your SSL Certificate

keytool -import -alias <your_alias> -keystore <your_keystore_filename> -trustcacerts -file <your_certificate_filename>
