How to create certificate using keytool

[VenkatRastapuram]

Hello Sir,

I configured the tomcat server and for that I created a keystore using keytool.

Now I want to generate a certificate,so I created a local certificate (as certreq.csr). I imported a chain certificate from

https://www.verisign.com/support/site/caReplacement.html

and added to my keystore.

Till here it is fine and in the final step while importing the certreq.csr it is giving sun.Security.pcks.ParsingException. The error is as follows.

Please tell me how to create a certificate using keytool

keytool -import -alias tomcat -keystore makeLogicKeyStore -trustcacerts -file d:\tomcat-jwsdp-1.4\certreq.csr
