Hi Daniel, I have generated the csr with the keytool:
keytool -certreq -sigalg RSA -alias <alias> -filename certreq.csr -keystore <keystorename> This csr has the DN formatted like CN=<server name>, OU=<OU Name>, O=<Organization Name>, L=<Location>, ST=<State>, C=<country> which is based on the information we give while genarating the keystore. But the signing authority in our domain accepts the dn format with cn=<server name>,ou=Devices,o=<organization>,c=<country> When I request for certificate using the keytool based CSR, I get the invalid request error as the forat is different. Is there a way I can generate the CSR in this format usng keytool? Keytool always asks for location information for generating the keystore. Thanks, Siva Kumar Balaguru. -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Mikusa [mailto:dmik...@gopivotal.com] Sent: Wednesday, December 04, 2013 6:45 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: enable SSL for Tomcat On Dec 4, 2013, at 7:40 AM, sivakumar_balag...@contractor.amat.com wrote: > Hi Ognjen, > > I have tried this as well. > > I have generated a new keystore.

The one that you had generated using the MS tool? If so, that's not going to work. You need to generate a new CSR based on the keystore's private cert and get a new signed certificate from your CA. Then import the new signed cert into your keystore.
