Hi, Step #4 is not correct; if you delete the existing certificate you would have lost everything. Please follow the instruction given by James H. H. Lampert.

Earlier when there was only tomcat (no root) the alias might not have been needed but now since there are two cert we need alias. Regards, Miten.
