Tomcat's 'keystore' is a file to hold security-related items like keys and certificates. Tomcat uses Java's.jks ('Java KeyStore') format for keystore files. This process requires a new keystore and will fail if an older keystore is used. Please backup and delete any previous keystores before following the steps below. I've followed this guide so as to setup my Tomcat 8 instance with SSL layer, producing a client and server keystores and a public client certificate autosigned. The issue is, I guess, that I don't.

Tomcat Jks Vs Pkcs12
Convert .PFX to JKS Keystore for Tomcat Server.

Using the pfx file in the IIS folder from your zip file, make sure to replace the domain-com with your own domain-name and 123456 with your own password:keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore domain-com.pfx -srcstoretype pkcs12 -srcalias 1 -srcstorepass 123456 -destkeystore domain-com.jks -deststoretype jks -deststorepass 123456 -destalias server
Your keystore file (domain-com.jks) is now ready to be used on your Tomcat Server. Now, you need to configure your server to use it.
- Create a JKS (Java, Tomcat.) from a PKCS12 or a PFX (Windows) You may have to convert a PKCS#12 to a JKS for several reasons. For example, if you have to copy or transfer your certificate from an Apache or Microsoft platform to a Tomcat one or to any platform using JKS file type (Java KeyStore).
- Tomcat provides you with quite a flexible way of installing SSL, unlike most other servers. SSL certificates can be installed through either APR (Apache Portable Runtime) or JSSE (Java Secure Socket Extension) connectors. The JSSE method is the most widely used connector that includes interaction with Java keystores created via keytool.

Note:
You must install the SSL Certificate file to the same keystore and under the same alias name (i.e. 'server') that you used to generate your CSR. If you try to install it to a different keystore, the install command in the next step will not work.
Configuring your SSL Connector
Before Tomcat can accept secure connections, you need to configure an SSL Connector.
- In a text editor, open the Tomcat server.xml file. The server.xml file is usually located in the conf folder of your Tomcat's home directory.
- Locate the connector that you want to use the new keystore to secure. Usually, a connector with port 443 or 8443 is used, as shown in step 4.
- If necessary, uncomment the connector. To uncomment a connector, remove the comment tags ().
- Specify the correct keystore filename and password in your connector configuration. When you are done, your connector should look something like this:
port='443' maxHttpHeaderSize='8192' maxThreads='150' minSpareThreads='25' maxSpareThreads='75' enableLookups='false' disableUploadTimeout='true' acceptCount='100' scheme='https' secure='true' SSLEnabled='true' clientAuth='false' sslProtocol='TLS'keyAlias='server' keystoreFile='/home/user_name/domain-com.jks' keystorePass='123456' />
Note: Replace the user_name in code with your username, domain-com with your own domain name, 123456 with your own password. If you are using a version of Tomcat prior to Tomcat 7, you need to change 'keystorePass' to 'keypass'. - Save your changes to the server.xml file.
- Restart Tomcat.
