(1) From where do I generate the CSR(Certificate Signing Request)? Also, in the screen in Namecheap.com (SSL Cert provider) there is a question asked for Type of Server- this has various options like ”Apache + Open SSL”/ “Apache + modSSL”/”CPanel”/”Tomcat” etc... Which of these options should I select?
You can use keytool to generate the CSR. Please refer the link * https://www.digicert.com/easy-csr/keytool.htm*. The geronimo server is good for you. (2) How do I add the generated certificate to Geronimo. Also, where and how do I configure the Certifying Authority’s certificates (i.e. CA Certificates)? To generate Certification Authority, you can access the geronimo 3.0 admin console "Security"->"Certificate Authority" to setup it. (3) How do I add the subdomain under which I want SSL to work-- do I have to add this as a virtual host to Tomcat (as per Geronimo Docs)? You can refer the doc * https://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxDOC22/certificate-properties-file-realm.html*. (4) What are the steps to finally deploy my web app to the subdomain with the SSL Certificate? You can deploy you app into geronimo,and then access it by Https connector. -- Best Regards Gary
