Installation of a signed SSL certificate

Hi,

I have a problem installing an SSL certificate.  
I am using Tomcat 4.0.4-b3 standalone on Linux.

First, I created a key pair with "keytool -genkey..." and configured the
"server.xml".  I am now able to view my webpages with https://myserver

Of course, my browser tells me that the certificate is not trusted, so I
created a "certificate signing request" and created a test certificate on
www.thawte.com.

I installed the certificate signing request using "keytool -import..." into
the same keystore where I created the key.  The keystore has 2 entries now,
a "keyEntry" and a "trustedCertEntry".

I restarted Tomcat and tried https://myserver again.  But it still displays
the untrusted self-signed certificate, not the one I got from Thawte.

Can anyone tell me how to configure Tomcat to use the signed certificate
instead?

Thanks,
Sven
