I have a VPS running tomcat9, and I cannot manage to install the certificate. I got a certificate using certbot (let's encrypt entity), now I have the files:
/etc/letsencrypt/live/mydomain.org/fullchain.pem
/etc/letsencrypt/live/mydomain.org/privkey.pem
I don't know what to do with them. I followed a lot of different tutorials, blogs, documentation pages including this one https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-9.0-doc/ssl-howto.html and it never works.
Currently, I created a JKS keystore and imported my certificate
keytool -importcert -alias root -file /etc/letsencrypt/live/mydomain.org/fullchain.pem -keystore mydomain.jks
In server.xml I have
<Connector port="80" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
connectionTimeout="20000"
redirectPort="8443" />
<Connector port="443" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
connectionTimeout="20000"
redirectPort="8443" />
<Connector port="8443" protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol"
maxThreads="150" SSLEnabled="true" URIEncoding="UTF-8" >
<SSLHostConfig>
<Certificate certificateKeystoreFile="/home/tomcat/files/mydomain.jks"
keystoreType="JKS"
keystorePass="mypassword"/>
</SSLHostConfig>
</Connector>
But when I restart my tomcat9 service I have the following in the logs:
SEVERE [main] org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleBase.handleSubClassException Failed to initialize component [Connector[HTTP/1.1-8443]]

I changed the password and I still have the issue, so I think the error comes from somewhere else. Could anyone give me a step by step procedure to install this certificate?
Thanks
