Matthew:

The CAS server using Tomcat requires the keystore in the Tomcat area.
The business server or application server (using CAS client) requires
an imported cert into cacerts for the trust when the CAS server is
called from the CAS client code.

If I'm repeating what you already know, bear with me.  This is tricky
stuff sometimes.  What you didn't tell us is if you used the keytool
executable to list the contents of the stores 1) in the Tomcat area
(8443 port) and 2) cacerts at $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security on the CAS
client server.  You may very well think that you are doing things
correctly but the listing may prove otherwise.  Also, the keytool
program will sometimes behave as if it were successful when nothing
actually happened.

Try the listing and understand what's in the stores and when they are
actually called or used for validation.
