Adding RRDI certificate to Tomcat (enable HTTPS on RRDI)

 I'am working on enabling HTTPS on RRDI but I'am having several issues and I'am back in HTTP now.

I'm having Entrusts certificates on Jazz-team server and also in WebSphere where the RRDI is installed. But I think I'm missing something because I'm getting error on JTS.LOG that Entrusts certificate is not trusted. There is also same kind of errors on RRDI in WebSphere that Entrust certificate is not trusted. When I use browser and browse the CLM and RRDI addresses the certificates are trusted by browsers.

The error in JTS.LOG is:

Hi Simo,

I assume you followed the steps in the infoCenter link below to enable SSL for your report server.

http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/clmhelp/v4r0/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.rational.rrdi.admin.doc%2Ftopics%2Ft_general_was_ssl.html

The error "CertPathValidatorException: Certificate chaining error" indicates you might not have all the certificates in your keystore. See the following technote:

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21369939

Thank you for your answer! I have followed tows steps, but I'm not sure what is the certificate (file) exactly that I have to import in steps x, xi xii in this http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/clmhelp/v4r0m3/topic/com.ibm.rational.rrdi.admin.doc/topics/t_int_ssl_reportsrv_jazz.html Infocenter page. As I told I'm using Entrust certificates and should the root certificate already as default in trust store?
