Greetings all, I am new to this list. I am also new to understanding a lot of SSL encryction. What I am attemting to/need to do is to take an existing private key created with the openSSL tool and the certificate reponse from verisign and be able to use it with tomcat. We have just installed / converted from apache listener ( bundled with oracle 9ias ) to the Jakarta tomcat. Tomcat uses java's keytool to generate a "keystore" which consists of the private key and the CAs certificate. I am able to load the CAs root, and the CAs certificate into keytore. But I am unable to load the original private key file created with openSSL. The keytool says it is not x509 format. Is there a way using openssl, subcommands of x509 or other to convert an existing key file from PEM or DER to x509 or PKCS#7 ( this format can be used by keytool as well ) Many thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
