Configuring SSL on Tomcat 5.5.28
Good afternoon,
I am implementing SSL on Tomcat 5.5.28 (on a Windows Server 2008 box) for
the first time as part of a BusinessObjects implementation. My client wants
to use a self signed certificate and I was able to create one using the
keytool utilities with a keystore, but it has already expired (it's been 90
days). How can I create a self signed certificate that lasts longer? Do I
need to use something like OpenSSL? I have looked on the Tomcat
documentation and spent many hours googling, but I'm not completely clear on
the process.
I've included screenshots of my process to help describe what I'm doing.
Thanks,
Jessica

To further CBy's statement, use the keytool doc, not Google:

Use -validity numberOfDays (default 90).
