We are trying to get Cognos connection to work through https, in this regard  the details of our Cognos configuration and steps followed are listed below

Cognos Configuration

At present Gateway URI and Controller Gateway for URI in Cognos Configuration are

Gateway URI: http://10.0.0.139:80/cognos8/cgi-bin/cognos.cgi

Controller Gateway for URI:  http://10.0.0.139:80/cognos8/controllerServer

Cognos is running in Apache TomeCat4.

In order to enable https for cognos with port 8443(Secure port for Tomcat)we have followed the following steps:


- Downloaded the JSSE 1.0.3 , and put the JAR files(jcert.jar,jnet.jar and jsse.jar) into          C:\IBM\cognos\c8\bin\jre\1.5.0\lib\ext folder.

- Execute:C:\IBM\cognos\c8\bin\keytool -genkey -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA (Windows)
             
     Enter keystore password:  changeit

     We are getting the following error

   Error: keytool error: java.io.IOException: Keystore was tampered with, or password was incorrect

Pl. advice.
