Installing your Certificate on Java Based Web Servers

This document introduces installing a Server Digital Certificate, and answers questions you might have.

Installing a Server Digital Certificate

After you are emailed your certificate, two other certificates will be necessary to setup your SSL Server, IPS SERVIDORES ROOT CERTIFICATE and the intermediate CA IPSCA CLASEA1. It is essential that these certificates also be installed on your webserver in order to establish correct SSL connections with your customer's browsers. Should they be required, you may download these certificates individually or collectively as a bundled file below:

IPSServidores.crt

IPSCACLASEA1.crt

Steps to install your certificate

Please replace the example keystore name 'domain.key' with your keystore name

Use the keytool command to import the certificates as follows:
keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias IPSROOT  -file IPSSERVIDORES.crt -keystore domain.key

Use the same process for the Comodo certificate using the keytool command:
keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias IPSCAA1 -file IPSCACLASEA1.crt
-keystore domain.key

Use the same process for the site certificate using the keytool command, if you are using an alias then please include the alias command in the string. Example:

keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias yyy (where yyy is the alias specified during CSR creation) -file domain.crt -keystore domain.key

The password is then requested.
Enter keystore password: (This is the one used during CSR creation)
The following information will be displayed about the certificate and you will be asked if you want to trust it (the default is no so type 'y' or 'yes'):
Serial number: 1a3
Valid from: Fri Feb 23 23:01:00 GMT 1996 until: Thu Feb 23 23:59:00 GMT 2006
Certificate fingerprints:
MD5: C4:D7:F0:B2:A3:C5:7D:61:67:F0:04:CD:43:D3:BA:58
SHA1: 90:DE:DE:9E:4C:4E:9F:6F:D8:86:17:57:9D:D3:91:BC:65:A6:89:64
Trust this certificate? [no]:

Then an information message will display as follows:
Certificate was added to keystore

All the certificate are now loaded and the correct root certificate will be presented.
