Netscape stores the private and public keys together in a key-pair file, which prevents you from separating the public and private keys. In weblogic.properties, the property entry [weblogic.security.key.server] refers only to the Private Key file. Therefore, you must generate another request for a certificate, not using Netscape utilities. You can use the Certificate Request servlet to generate a request for a new certificate. Using WebLogic SSL shows how to use the servlet.
