Hi Don,

Is this Tomcat for Windows or Tomcat for a UNIX variant?

Have you verified the keystore as correct via * keytool -v -list -keystore KEYSTORE_PATH/FILE* ? (Redirect that text to a file if need be!)

Did you use the *-trustcacerts* flag upon importing the certificates or was this omitted?

Peter,

Thanks for the reply. When I first started having this problem I was actually 
using a single keystore for both certificates. Yes there is both an 
intermediate and a root certificate that get loaded in the keystore, and I'm 
sure, at least when I was using a single keystore that they were loaded 
correctly because the other instance (and certificate) were working correctly.

With the second instance using a separate keystore, I get the same results 
whether the intermediate certificate is loaded in the keystore or not. That 
makes me think that somehow the second instance of Tomcat can't access the 
intermediate certificate, but somehow the first instance doesn't have that 
trouble?

2009/8/20 Don Prezioso<dp...@ashland.edu>:
I have two instances of Tomcat 5.5 set up on a Red Hat box, each using separate 
IP addresses. I have obtained two certificates, one for each instance, and have 
put them in separate keystores. Both certificates are from IPSCA and both 
keystores have been set up in the same manner. Each keystore is properly 
referenced in the associated server.xml

The first instance (on eth0) is working with no problems. The second instance 
(on eth0:0), appears to work fine in IE, but when I connect using Firefox, 
Chrome, or Safari, I get the message:

The web site's certificate cannot be verified. Do you want to continue? The 
certificate cannot be verified by a trusted source.

When I view the certificate, it appears valid. If I click on 'Yes', then check 
the certificate, it says it is 'Verified by: IPS Certification Authority s.l.' 
and again, all appears fine.

Any ideas on why I am only getting the warning only on the second instance? I 
can't believe it is an issue with IPSCA since the first instance does not 
exhibit the problem.
Hmm.  This probably won't help you, but I recently had exactly those
symptoms when I hadn't installed the intermediate certificate for a
GlobalSign cert on an IIS server.  IE didn't care; everything else got
upset.

Do IPSCA use intermediate certs?  If so, are you *sure* they're
installed correctly on both keystores? ;-)
