How does keytool certificates work with tomcat?

843811Sep 12 2008 — edited Sep 14 2008
Hi:
I can't understand this.
I know how to create a keystore, a selfcert and how to sign a jar, but i don't understand how does tomcat know where to look to decide if a signed jar is valid.
Indeed, i have an aplication trying to connect to netbeans tomcat using SSL from a remote pc, but it keeps saying that "Certificate does not contain the correct site name". It only works from local...
Of course, tried to create a keystore setting as name and last name my ip, but it still doesn't work.
Can somebody explain me how does it work so i have no more doubts? (Also tried to look in inet but i still know how does it work, just found how to create keystores, selfcert and signed jars once and again).

Thank you!!
