that you are wasting your time generating your own RSA key, then
using LE to generate the CSR, etc. It's much easier to simply let
certbot do it's thing and then throw everything into a Java keystore
(if you must use JSSE instead of APR/OpenSSL).

Have a look at this page:
http://tomcat.apache.org/presentations.html

Search for "let's encrypt".

There's a ton of stuff in there that you don't need, but the basics
are in fact there, including (IIRC) every single command you'll need
to execute in order to get yourself a certificate signed, installed,
and running in Tomcat.

You have a "server certificate" -- that's yours, and represents you.
There is (usually) another certificate, called the "chain" or
"intermediate" certificate, which represents the Certificate Authority
who signed your certificate.

When your server performs a TLS handshake with the client, it needs to
present a "certificate chain" which includes your server certificate
(the "leaf") and any certificates required to link the server cert to
a root certificate which is stored within the client and already
trusted (e.g. VeriSign, DigiCert, etc.). So your server needs to have
multiple certificates available to send, and only one "belongs" to you.


I was able to execute the command:

keytool -import -alias root -keystore 
-trustcacerts -file 

using a single file that has the "Signed Certificate" and
"Intermediate Certificate" from gethttpsforfree.  But then I get an
error from the next command

~$ keytool -import -alias tomcat -keystore .keystore -file
chained.pem Enter keystore password: keytool error:

Java keystores are a nightmare... it's not your fault. ;)

It looks like you didn't successfully import the CA's
root/intermediate certificate. Can you reply with some more specifics?
What files do you have from the CA, what keystore(s) do you have, and
what are the exact commands you are running? You've left-out some
important details from your post above.

Here's what I have in my "Java Keystore Cheat Cheet":

Create your server key and self-signed cert:

$ keytool -genkey -keyalg RSA -sigalg SHA256withRSA -keysize 4096
-alias ${HOSTNAME} -keystore ${HOSTNAME}.jks


Now, export your CSR:


$ keytool -certreq -sigalg SHA256withRSA -keystore ${HOSTNAME}.jks


Use that CSR to get your cert signed.

Now, import the signed cert back into your keystore, starting with the
root and/or intermediate cert and finishing with your server's cert:


$ keytool -import -alias [Authority.CA] -trustcacerts -file
[authority's CA cert] -keystore ${HOSTNAME}.jks

For 

installing certificates

2017-10-09 Thread Adam Pease

Hi,
  I'm running Tomcat 8.5.23 on an AWS Ubuntu Linux 16.04 LTS 
installation.  I'm trying to follow the instructions at 
https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/ssl-howto.html to get HTTPS 
running under tomcat.  My site runs with a self-signed certificate.  Now 
I'm trying to install a proper certificate from 
https://gethttpsforfree.com/ .  After the rather lengthy process to 
generate the "Signed Certificate" and "Intermediate Certificate" it 
appears I'm ready to follow the instructions under the heading 
"Importing the Certificate".
  My first question is whether there is a difference between the 
certificates mentioned in


- "import a so called Chain Certificate or Root Certificate into your 
keystore"


and

- "After that you can proceed with importing your Certificate."

I was able to execute the command:

keytool -import -alias root -keystore 
-trustcacerts -file 

using a single file that has the "Signed Certificate" and "Intermediate 
Certificate" from gethttpsforfree.  But then I get an error from the 
next command


~$ keytool -import -alias tomcat -keystore .keystore -file chained.pem
Enter keystore password:
keytool error: java.lang.Exception: Certificate reply does not contain 
public key for 


When I run

~$ keytool -list -v

I see (in part)

Alias name: tomcat
Creation date: Oct 9, 2017
Entry type: PrivateKeyEntry
Certificate chain length: 1
Certificate[1]:
Owner: CN=Adam Pease

I'm very new to certificates.  Could someone point me in the right 
direction?


all the best,
Adam
