Tomcat 3.3 and SSL Certificate Key with a Passphrase

Hi.

I've been trying to tackle a problem with adding an SSL certificate to
the keystore using the keytool. We have purchased a Verisign SSL
Secure Site Pro certificate which was generated with a key using a
passphrase. It was generated using OpenSSL. I have been able to make
it work with Apache.

However, we have a web application that needs to be secured running
Tomcat 3.3. When I add the intermediate certificate and our private
certificate and restart Tomcat, and try to connect to it using the
browser, it displays an error stating that the security protocol is
not recognized.

I've tried several alternative methods of adding the certificate to
the keystore but haven't been able to configure tomcat to use the
passphrase. I've seen it is possible with the later versions using a
configuration directive SSLPassphrase in the server.xml configuration
file.

Hope I get a solution for it to work with Tomcat 3.3. Thanks and Cheers!
