Hi all,

Any idea why TOMCAT (4.1.12) /JBOSS (3.0.4) on Win2K thinks the certificate
reply that I had imported (using keytool) into Tomcat's keystore, is a root
CA cert, instead of a trusted cert?

I have imported a certificate reply (created from my own CA) into a keystore
used by Tomcat (successfully according to keytool).  However, when I try to
access the secure site with IE 5.5, I am prompted a security alert notifying
that the security certificate is not trusted.  When I click on 'View
Certificate', it shows me that the certificate is an untrusted ROOT CA
certificate, even though the Subject DN and Issuer DN are different.  I had
expected it to say something like:

    "This certificate cannot be verified up to a trusted certification
authority."

... since the cert was signed by my own CA.

When I export the certificate assocated with this key entry, it shows up as
a untrusted certificate, and not an untrusted CA certificate.

Any idea why TOMCAT thinks the cert I imported is a root CA cert instead of
a trusted cert?
