hi
i am trying out the ssl-howto tutorial that comes with apache
tomcat5.5..I used
keytool -genkey -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA to create a .keystore file
in home directory and added the password using keystorePass in
Connector element of server.xml.When i try
https://localhost:8443 the browser complains that it is self signed
and that it uses an invalid security certificate.( Error code:
sec_error_ca_cert_invalid)..
so i wanted to get a certificate from verisign and went to their free
ssl trial certificate page.In the textbox for pasting csr data i
copied the data of certreq.csr created by
keytool -genkey -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA -keystore mylocalkeystore
and
keytool -certreq -keyalg RSA -alias tomcat -file certreq.csr -keystore
mylocalkeystore
But here i get an error message that it contains invalid characters in
common name.
Can someone please help me to get this right?Is the csr created by
keytool inappropriate?Do i have to use some other tool?
