Sorry I hadn't seen your message earlier when you posted it. But you should create the keystore with a keystore password. Did you do that?

Cheers,

After following the docs to generate self-signed pkcs12 key, I  failed to

keystore, integrity will not be verified. What does the reason cause this error?

I read some docs which ask to create an empty Java keystore and convert PEM 
formatted key to PKCS8 format. Why do I need to create an empty keystore?

Thanks,

I don't know if this is a right list to ask this question. I tried to
configure shibboleth which uses Tomcat with CAS authentication. I received
an error: Unable to validate ProxyTicketValidator



I did google search on this topic and understood the reason causing this
problem is Tomcat JVM doesn't trust the SSL cert of the CAS server. Since I
am still in the testing stage, I can't get a CA certificate but the
self-signed certificate.



If my understanding is correct, the self signed certificate via openssl
doesn't have jks format but Tomcat JVM only accept jks format certificate.

If you had read the friendly manual at http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/ssl-howto.html, you would know that this isn't true :). While it talks about the keystore, the truststore works the same way. So use openssl to create a pkcs12 file, specify this as the truststore, in whatever way you need to do from the CAS docs, and you should be good to go.

I am just wondering if any one can give me some instruction how to create a
self-signed certificate and private key which can be used or imported to
both Tomcat JVM and CAS server.



Thanks,



Lisa
