Importing the certificate

The signing authority would send you two files, the actual certificate and chain certificates.

Importing the certificate into JAVA keystore

  1. Use the following command to import the chain certificate:
    keytool -import -alias root -keystore <your_keystore_filename>
        -trustcacerts -file <filename_of_the_chain_certificate>
    
  2. Use the following command to import the public certificate:
    keytool -import -alias tomcat -keystore <your_keystore_filename>
        -file <your_certificate_filename>
