SSL with latest stable version of Tomcat
We are using Intellij with Tomcat and need to configure it for SSL.
So far, we have used the following URLs but have been unable to resolve the issue.
1. Steps from ZeroSSl configuration tutorial page - https://help.zerossl.com/hc/en-us/articles/360060120393-Installing-SSL-Certificate-on-Tomcat
2. Steps from Tomcat 9 SSL Guide - https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-9.0-doc/ssl-howto.html
Assistance is greatly appreciated

Where exactly are you stuck, what steps did work, and what steps didn't?

We tried with tomcat 10 and were able to configure the SSL, but that work only when the tomcat service is started using tomcat manager, and does not work when we use it from within Intelij. Our guess is that Intelij is maintaining its own copy of configuration file for the tomcat server and figuring out a way to edit that for the SSL configuration.
Define what "unable to resolve the issue" might mean.
Start by picking only 1x guide, then going through all steps, then mention what step fails + exactly what you're seeing.
Tip: Start by using a local version of the https://LetsEncrypt.org certbot client, as certbot debugging is trivial compared to ZeroSSL debugging.
Once you have a cert working, if you must switch to ZeroSSL, do this after you have a working system.

Trying to ask a question on here on behalf of someone else is difficult at best. Sorry for that. We used Tomcat 10 and he was able to get it configured sucessfully.
