[users@httpd] Migrating from Tomcat SSL to mod_ssl

[Jeremy Nix <Je...@sfsltd.com>]

Okay, I'm pretty confused, so I apologize if I confuse anyone else.
Currently we have a website running off tomcat and have defined the SSL
parameters (keystore and keypass) enabling secure sockets on a
particular port.  Everything works "fine and dandy".

Now, we have the desire to support a more complex website with multiple
virtual hosts...which brings us to the apache http server world.  We set
up apache to handle all requests (secure and unsecure), and forward
requests on to Tomcat as desired.  Tomcat is no longer configured for
SSL, since mod_ssl is being used.  Before, we had a keystore file that
was being looked up against, and now (to what I've taken in) we need a
certificate file AND a certificate key file (since this is a WIN32
distribution).

Okay, I know how to export a cert from a keystore file using the keytool
utility.  What I do not know is how to generate a certificate key file.
Am I going about this wrong?
