Installing your SSL Certificate / Web Server Certificate / Secure Server Certificate from ssl247.co.uk

Firstly when your issuance email arrives you will have your web server certificate in the email.

Copy your web server certificate into a text editor such as notepad and save as yourdomain.pem.

The following certificate installations must be executed in the stated order

1. Import the "Server Certificate" using the following command:
   
   $JAVA_HOME/bin/keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias ??? -keystore /path/to/domainname.kdb -file domainname.pem

   Note: Replace ??? with the alias specified when creating the CSR.

A confirmation that the certificate has been added to the keystore will then be presented.

Update server.xml configuration file:

1. Open "$JAKARTA_HOME/conf/server.xml" in a text editor.
2. Find the following section:
   
   <Connector className="org.apache.catalina.connector.http.HttpConnector"
   port="8443" minProcessors="5" maxProcessors="75"
   enableLookups="true"
   acceptCount="10" debug="0" scheme="https" secure="true">
   <Factory className="org.apache.catalina.net.SSLServerSocketFactory"
   clientAuth="false" protocol="TLS"
   keystoreFile="tomcat.kdb"
   keystorePass="password"/>
   
   
3. If you want Tomcat to use the default SSL port, change all instances of the port number 8443 to 443.
   
   
4. Add the keystoreFile and keystorePass directives to correspond with the keystore file and password that you are using.
   
   
5. Start or restart Tomcat using the appropriate startup script (startup.sh for unix/linux or startup.bat for windows)
