Finding the keystore

[Ghodmode]

I have a Tomcat server set up and its SSL certificate has just expired. I've been instructed to update the certificate, but back up the existing files first.

I've been reading through the documentation and I understand that the default location of the file(s) should be $HOME/.keystore. That's what I should back up, but that file isn't there. In fact, there isn't a .keystore file on the whole server. I looked for it with this command:

[tt]find / -iname "*keystore*"[/tt]

... but I didn't get any results.

I also read that, if the file isn't in the expected location, there needs to be a setting in server.xml to identify the file's location or there will be a FileNotFoundException in the log file.

I didn't find the setting in server.xml and there are no FileNotFoundException exceptions in catalina.out.

What am I missing?

Thank you.

It turned out that Apache (httpd) was managing the SSL connection even though it passed all requests to the Tomcat server.
