I'm new to all of this, so I may be making an obvious mistake, but I've looked all over and can't seem to find a solution.
I'm following the instructions for installing a certificate from a CA found here: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/ssl-howto.html Everything went fine until the step where you import the chain cert. I entered this command: keytool -import -v -alias root -keystore .keystore -trustcacerts \ -file amon-chain.cer And got this error: keytool error: java.lang.Exception: Input not an X.509 certificate I copied both certs (chain and server) from a web browser into separate text files and saved them. They are base64 encoded and the chain is in pcks7 format. I made sure to get the -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- and -----END CERTIFICATE-----. If I used keytool -printcert it prints it out OK, so I'm assuming that it is of the proper format. java version: Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2-b28) tomcat version: 4.1.24-LE-jdk14 Does anyone have any ideas what I'm doing wrong? (Please CC me as I get the digest version and would prefer to get these separate.)
