Renew SSL certificates in Tomcat

Renew SSL certificates in Tomcat 

Step 1: Prepare your SSL certificate files

You have to import all the necessary certificate files separately in the correct order. Run the commands below for each certificate type:

Root Certificate:

keytool -import -alias root -keystore example.jks -trustcacerts -file root.crt

Intermediate Certificate:

keytool -import -alias intermediate -keystore example.jks -trustcacerts -file intermediate.crt

Step 2: Edit the Tomcat configuration file

After the import, your next step is to edit the Tomcat configuration file. By default, it’s called server.xml and resides in the Home_Directory/conf folder.

Locate the configuration file.You should see a few lines of code similar to the example below:

<Connector port="443" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
SSLEnabled="true"
scheme="https" secure="true" clientAuth="false"
sslProtocol="TLS" keystoreFile="/your_path/yourkeystore.jks"
keystorePass="password_for_your_key_store" />

Please change the parts in bold. For keystoreFile parameter, specify the directory of your keystoreFile. For keystorePass attribute, enter your keystore password.
