Hi all, I finally managed to install the certificate. In case someone else gets into the same situation, here's the solution:
1. I installed a test root certificate from Thawte into $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/cacerts. 2. When importing the certificate for my website, I had to use the same alias as the key and use the option "-trustcacerts". When I tried this before I always got the error message "Keytool-Fehler: java.lang.Exception: Kette konnte nicht aus Antwort entnommen werden." (Sorry, I have a German Java installation, this means something like "Couldn't find chain in response"). Sven > -----Urspr�ngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Sven Woltmann > Gesendet: Freitag, 7.
