A Java Keystore file is just a container for one or more keys and/or certificates. You should have no problem *using* the certificate and key.

You may have to do some tricks to convert from one format into another, and/or to import those things into your keystore.

What file type(s) are you being given?

I don't actually know at this time. But since I posted the question, I've been doing some experiments with Keystore Explorer, and I learned how to go from a JKS to the separate key and certificate files that Apache HTTPD expects, and back to a brand new JKS, and actually have something Tomcat can use, so hopefully, I'll be able to talk the customer through the process of setting up a keystore.

Back when I first started using KSE, I still had to create the initial keystore and keypair in keytool, or Tomcat wouldn't accept it (some sort of password issue, as I recall); it would seem that KSE has since been improved.
