Am I right ?   
1.) I must first create a CA via openssl.  
2.) Then I must create a csr via keytool  
3.) Then I must sign the csr via openssl  
4.) Import the certificate in the cacerts file  
   
Thanks,  
Luk,

Subject: Re: Certificates

You can use "your own CA" and use that to sign any certificate when you 
add that CA's certificate to the truststore (of Tomcat/Java/...). You 
can even add all the individual certificates to the truststore, though 
that may be harder to manage.

The JAVA truststore is the "cacerts" file in your JRE/JDK installation. 
you can use keytool to view/modify it. Tomcat uses that by default. 
You can also specify another truststore-file for a Tomcat connector (see 
connector docs).
You may want to read these commands:

Note that you "your own CA"s certificate is quite important.
