PKCS#12 type SSL certificate support in Tomcat

[Hitesh Raghav]

Dear All,
 
Is there any limitation to support PKCS#12 type SSL certificate in
Tomcat.
 
As per Tomcat User Guide, Tomcat currently operates with JKS, PKCS11 or
PKCS12 format keystores.
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/ssl-howto.html
 
But, I'm unable to use PKCS#12 certificate in my Tomcat.
 
It throws:

Could you please throw some light on PKCS#12 type certificate support.
 
Please let me know in case any details are needed.
