I don't know if it's just copy/paste errors, but from what you've written, you've imported the ca cert twice, and into a different keystore file than you used to generate the key.
What does > keytool -list say? "Jeanna Geier" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi All- I'm running into an odd problem and am hoping that someone out there can help me! I'm trying to configure and run SSL; I am able to create, startup and run everyting when I am using a self-signed certificate. (Yeah!) However, when I attempt to use a trial certificate from thawte (which is where we want to get to), I am getting an error. Here's what I'v done (http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.0-doc/ssl-howto.html): - created a local Certificate: >keytool -genkey -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA I didn't get a 'chain certificate' with my free trial, so for the next step, I imported the certificate I got from Thawte: - keytool -import -alias root -keystore C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator\.keystore -trustcacerts -file C:\thawte_ca_cert.cert Then I imported the new certificate under my tomcat user: - keytool -import -alias tomcat -keystore C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator\.keystore -trustcacerts -file C:\thawte_ca_cert.cert According to the directions, that should be it; however, when I go to start Tomcat, I get the following error: at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.jsse.JSSESocketFactory.acceptSocket(JSSESocketFactory.java:113) at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.PoolTcpEndpoint.acceptSocket(PoolTcpEndpoint.java:368) at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.TcpWorkerThread.runIt(PoolTcpEndpoint.java:549) at org.apache.tomcat.util.threads.ThreadPool$ControlRunnable.run(ThreadPool.java:683) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:595) Sep 8, 2006 1:34:04 PM org.apache.tomcat.util.net.PoolTcpEndpoint acceptSocket WARNING: Reinitializing ServerSocket Sep 8, 2006 1:34:04 PM org.apache.tomcat.util.net.PoolTcpEndpoint acceptSocket SEVERE: Endpoint [SSL: ServerSocket[addr=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0,port=0,localport=443]] ignored exception: java.net.SocketException: SSL handshake errorjavax.net.ssl.SSLException: No available certificate or key corresponds to the SSL cipher suites which are enabled. java.net.SocketException: SSL handshake errorjavax.net.ssl.SSLException: No available certificate or key corresponds to the SSL cipher suites which are enabled. When I search/google on this, it says that one cause could be "different passwords has been used for the certificate and the Keystore. In this case, use the Keytool to change the password of the certificate to match the password of the Keystore." - but that's not the case. Please, any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
