Martin,

   I would be going from JDK version 1.4 to 1.5 or later.  So it sounds like
I will have to generate a CSR for the new JDK version and I will have to
involve my CA by reissueing the cert.  I am thinking correctly?  So there is
no way to reuse the keystore with the new JDK version?

Thanks for the reply?

Will

Hi Will-

Generate private key
$JAVA_HOME/bin/keytool -genkey -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA -keystore
/path/to/domainname.kdb 

then Generate the CSR
$JAVA_HOME/bin/keytool -certreq -alias tomcat -keystore
/path/to/keystore.kdb -file filename.csr 

so if you change $JAVA_HOME say from JDK 1.3 to JDK 1.4 (which has JSSE
integrated) then I would re-create the private-key and the csr

Makes Sense?
