generating a CSR
Hi,
I need help with creating a CSR which I want to send to symmantec.
My tomcat version is 5.5.x.
When I run the command
keytool -certreq -keyalg RSA -alias tomcat -file certreq.csr -keystore .keystore
where .keystore is the name of the keystore file... I get the error: "keytool error: java.lang.Exception: Keystore file does not exist: .keystore"
Please help with the error.
Regards,
Olayemi Olatunji | Senior Analyst

This has nothing to do with Tomcat really. Have you tried google for
that? http://lmgtfy.com/?q=keytool+generate+csr returns
http://www.entrust.net/knowledge-base/technote.cfm?tn=8425 as the third
result which tells you that you need to create a keystore first./

You are mixing up commands. You need to first create a server key,
then a CSR, then (later) import the certificate into your keystore.
Try reading the documentation
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/ssl-howto.html which clearly
lays all of this out for you with step-by-step instructions.
Oh, and you should upgrade. All the way up to 7.0.34.
