keytool help (alias <tomcat> already exists problem)

843811Dec 2 2005 — edited Apr 6 2006
Hi I am new to using certs & SSL. I am following the http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.0-doc/ssl-howto.html doc using java version 1.5.0.04 and when I run the command:
%JAVA_HOME%\bin\keytool -genkey -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA I get the following error:

Key pair not generated, alias <tomcat> already exists

I am running Tomcat 5.0 on my development machine, Windows platform...

Does anyone know what the solution or cause of the problem is?

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
