Certificate problem with Netscape 4.7 and IE >5.0

[Tom Graf <to...@cfl.lu>]

Dear all,

I've got lots of problems with Tomcat 4.0.1. and my digital server certificate.

The following describes shortly the steps I've done so far:

First of all, I generated a self-signed certificate as described in the 
Tomcat documentation. Then, I created a Certificate Signing Request that I 
sent to the GlobalSign certificate authority. In return, I received my 
digital server certificate (in .pem format) and replaced the self-signed 
certificate with the new one (with keytool under Solaris 2.6).

So far so good.

When I start Internet Explorer, it shows the yellow padlock but the 
encrypted page doesn't appear and a double click on the padlock says "This 
type of document does not have a security certificate".
The Netscape 4.7 message is even worse, it says "Netscape and this server 
cannot communicate securely because they have no common encryption algorithms".

Can anybody on this list tell me what the problem is? What am I doing wrong?

Your help is very much appreciated.

Many thanks in advance. Kind regards,

Tom,

I have also trouble to generate a proper .keystore file.
I couldn't make it with keytool(win/IBM).
Try:
http://www.comu.de/docs/tomcat_ssl.htm
This works for me.
