Answer 1

I had this error, but it was a different issue. When you send off a CSR to a CA it comes from a particular private key with a particular alias that you generated. When you receive the cert back again you must import it using the same alias name or else the two certs will not be wired together.

If you have done it right, when you use keytool -list -v you wil see a single entry with the alias name, of type

Entry type: PrivateKeyEntry
Certificate chain length: 3

For the entry. If you have done it wrong the you will have two entries

Entry type: PrivateKeyEntry
Certificate chain length: 1

and

Entry type: trustedCertEntry
