Tomcat / JAVA / Crypto question

Howdie,

I am trying to help a friend who is having some trouble with Tomcat and SSL:
they have created a certificate request and sent it to Verisign, however,
they can't seem to load the signed certificate to the server:

[root_at_notreal bin]# ./keytool -v -import -alias tomcat -keystore
/path/to/private_key.key -file /path/to/verisign_signed.cer
Enter keystore password: ********
keytool error: java.security.cert.CertificateParsingException: signed overrun,
bytes = 130

I've checked with openssl and the signed cert seems valid:

# openssl x509 -noout -text -inform pem -in versign_signed.cer

Produces the certificate info.

A google search revealed nothing except that the error message in question is
the generic response of the JAVA Crypto API to certs it fails to grok, for
verious reasons.

Any help will be welcome and apreciated!

Gilad
