Installing your SSL Certificate on a Tomcat server
How to install your Go Daddy SSL Digital Certificate for Ahsay OBS

Save your ssl certificate files from the file received from Go Daddy. The four certificates you downloaded must be installed to your keystore in the correct order for your Go Daddy certificate to be trusted. If the certificates are not installed in the correct order, then the certificate will not authenticate properly. Use keytool to install all four, as follows:

1) Install the Root Certificate file. Type the following command to install the certificate file:
keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias root -file valicert_class2_root.crt -keystore your_domain.key

** Note: Choose 'Yes' if you get prompted with a message that says"Certificate already exists in systemwide CA keystore under alias Do you still want to add it to your own keystore?
[no]:"

2) Install the Cross Intermediate Certificate file:Type the following command to install the certificate file:keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias cross -file gd_cross_intermediate.crt-keystore your_domain.key

3) Install the Intermediate Certificate file:Type the following command to install the certificate file:keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias inter -file gd_intermediate.crt -keystore your_domain.key

4) Install the Primary Certificate file. Type the following command to install the certificate file:
keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias tomcat -file your_domain_name.crt -keystore your_domain.key

You will be prompted for the password, which you chose when generating yourCSR. It will ask if you want to trust the certificate. Choose y or yes.
