IFBO via HTTPS, trouble defining Apache Tomcat with commercial certificate

Does anyone have advice for defining Apache Tomcat (ver 5) to use a commercial certificate (GeoTrust)? The goal is to have IFBO accessable via HTTPS.

Tomcat's server.xml contains:

<Connector port="8443" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
enableLookups="false" disableUploadTimeout="true"
acceptCount="100" scheme="https" secure="true"
clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" />

Apache or Tomcat for certificate signing request from GeoTrust

The main problem turned out to be that one needs to know if the certificate from a Certficate Authority will be used with Apache or Tomcat.

In this case the certificate signing request was for Tomcat, but Java's keytool had not been used for generating the local certificate and the CSR (certificate signing request).
