I’ve been using Tomcat for about fours years. I’ve developed websites and 
services that used certificates based upon SHA1. Today I purchased a new 
certificate from GoDaddy based upon using “-sigalg SHA256withRSA”.


So for this new service I executed the following commands in the directory of 
the keystore:


keytool -keysize 2048 -genkey -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA  -sigalg SHA256withRSA 
-keystore tomcat.keystore
keytool -certreq -keyalg RSA -alias tomcat -file csr.txt -keystore 
tomcat.keystore


sent the csr.txt to GoDadday and received the certificate files.


keytool -delete -alias tomcat -keystore tomcat.keystore

keytool -import -alias root -keystore tomcat.keystore -trustcacerts -file 
gd_bundle-g2-g1.crt
keytool -import -alias intermed -keystore tomcat.keystore -trustcacerts -file 
gdig2.crt
keytool -import -alias tomcat -keystore tomcat.keystore -trustcacerts -file 
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.crt


If I copy over the new tomcat.keystore with a backup of the original everything 
works.


My Tomcat 8.0.23 on CentOS 6.5 is configure with three virtual hosts in 
server.xml; the following is for the one with the GoDaddy certificate. I’m 
doing them one-at-time.


<Server port="8005" shutdown="SHUTDOWN">
  <Listener className="org.apache.catalina.startup.VersionLoggerListener" />
  <Listener className="org.apache.catalina.core.AprLifecycleListener" 
SSLEngine="on" />
  <Listener 
className="org.apache.catalina.core.JreMemoryLeakPreventionListener" />
  <Listener 
className="org.apache.catalina.mbeans.GlobalResourcesLifecycleListener" />
  <Listener 
className="org.apache.catalina.core.ThreadLocalLeakPreventionListener" />



  <Service name="System">
    <Connector port="8080" address="xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" protocol="HTTP/1.1"  
connectionTimeout="20000"  redirectPort="8443" />
    <Connector port="8443" address="xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" protocol="HTTP/1.1" 
SSLEnabled="true" maxThreads="150" scheme="https" secure="true" 
keyAlias="tomcat" keystoreFile="/opt/tomcat/system/tomcat.keystore" 
keystorePass="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" />
    <Engine name="System" defaultHost="xxxxxxxx.com">
      <Host name="xxxxxxxx.com" appBase="webapps/xxxxxxxx.com" 
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true" >
        <Alias>www.xxxxxxxx.com</Alias>
        <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve" 
directory="logs" prefix="xxxxxxxx.com" suffix=".log" pattern="common" />
      </Host>
    </Engine>
  </Service>




….



</Server>




Each service is on a different IP address and I’ve been redirecting 80 to 8080 
and 443 to 8443. This has been working fine until I replaced the key.


This is from the catalina.out file:

Then I used keytool to verify that the alias is in the tomcat.keystore. The 
following is a list from the keystore:



#keytool -list -v -keystore tomcat.keystore -alias tomcat


Enter keystore password:
