Uma Checkout the section entitled 'Installing a Certificate from a Certificate Authority' here: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/ssl-howto.html
You'll need to create a CSR that you send to your Certificate Authority, along with company registration details etc, for the company that has registered the domain name you're securing with a cert. It's important that these details match exactly with the registered owner details for your domain, otherwise there'll be processing delays. I use Thawte for all my secure certs with Tomcat and I've never had any problems. Here are their instructions for setting up a secure cert under Tomcat: http://kb.thawte.com/thawte/thawte/esupport.asp?id=vs15596 If you follow their instructions carefully, you should have no problems, just make sure that you use the same password for the keystore *and* the actual certificate key (just accept default prompt). If you use a password different from the default ('changeit') you'll need to add the keystorePass="<your new password>" attribute to the Connector element. Same thing applies if you choose a different location for your keystore (the default is the home file of the user under whom Tomcat is running). If you change this, then add the keystoreFile="</path/to/keystore>" attribute to the Connector element.
