ssl

Hi,

We are using tomcat 6.0.20. We installed the self signed certificate, its
working fine.

Now we installed the CA (goDaddy) certificate in order to use CA certificate
and updated the server.xml and restarted the tomcat server. But tomcat ssl
port is still picking the old self-signed certs. Do you have any idea why it
is not picking the godaddy certificates?  I mean can you point me what other
places of tomcat server, I need to look so that it can pick the goDaddy
certificates.

Thanks

Ashok

If the docs are missing information, you can always supply it in the 
form of a patch.

Unfortunately, the ssl-howto.html does not cover the use of the SSLCertificateChainFile connector directive, which he will need to add if using the native APR library, since GoDaddy is a secondary CA.  In fact, it doesn't mention anything about intermediate certificate chains for either JAVA or APR.

There was a good Tomcat 5.5 doc on the APR (forgot the link) that covered how to use the SSLCertificateChainFile directive.

Great!

It would be a great idea to post the relevant portions of your
server.xml file. Specifically, your <Connector> configuration. Also,
please tell us if you're using the native APR library or the standard
Java connector.

Instead, follow this official documentation:

Read everything, even if you think you already understand it.

Dear Ashok,
  It Should work,
       backup your server.xml and remove it... then start tomcat .. it
shouldn't start..
then again configure it with new Godaddy Certificate..

This is the only way to configure it.
I hope You had followed all other steps related to Tomcat keytool,

Regards,
 Nilesh P.
