   * Open a command prompt or terminal.
   * Run this command:

		keytool -genkey -keyalg RSA -alias tomcat -keystore selfsigned.jks \ 
		-validity <days> -keysize 2048

    Where <days> indicate the number of days for which the certificate will be valid.

   * Enter a password for the keystore. Note this password as you require this for configuring the server.
   * When prompted for first name and last name, enter the domain name of the server. For example, myserver or myserver.mycompany.com.
   * Enter the other details, such as Organizational Unit, Organization, City, State, and Country.
   * Confirm that the information entered is correct.
   * When prompted with Enter key password for <tomcat>, press Enter to use the same password as the keystore password.
   * Run this command to verify the contents of the keystore:
		
		keytool -list -v -keystore selfsigned.jks

   * When prompted, enter the keystore password note in Step 3. The basic information about the generated certificate is displayed. Verify that the Owner and Issuer are
