2 Submit this file to a Certificate Authority (CA), such as VeriSign, Inc.
The CA will authenticate you, the requestor (usually as an off-line step), and then
will return a signed certificate, authenticating your public key. (In some cases, the
CA will actually return a chain of certificates, each one authenticating the public
key of the signer of the previous certificate in the chain.)

DashBoard Corporate Edition Module” on page 45, and proceed with step 6.
To Import the tomcat Certificate
1 Ensure that the certificate is correct by issuing the following command, replacing
tomcat.cer with the name of the file that contains the certificate sent by the CA:
keytool -printcert -file tomcat.cer -v
2 Import it into your keystore by issuing the following command, again specifying
the certificate file name in place of tomcat.cer:
keytool -import -keystore keystore -alias tomcat -file tomcat.cer
3 At the prompts, provide the keystore and entry passwords (the same one that you
entered in step 2 on page 46).
4 Return to “To Configure HTTPS for a PATROL DashBoard Server or a PATROL
