This sounds rather complicated... As I don't know what is a byte array and how
to read a file in it!
Shouldn't the X509 cert created with OpenSSL work? Maybe it requires certain
information I left out -- I only put my CN and O entries in it?

How do I do that with keytool? I just wasted a day while trying to figureout
how to accomplish that with OpenSSL and I wouldn't want to do that again...
I've managed to generate a keystore and a csr for my site, but how do I become
my own CA with keytool and sign the csr and make it a crt, could someone
kindly demonstrate to me?
