	sudo cp ~/remote.i12bretro.local.key /var/lib/tomcat9/<br />
	sudo cp ~/CA-Chain.pem /var/lib/tomcat9/<br />
	sudo chown :tomcat /var/lib/tomcat9/remote.i12bretro.local.crt<br />
	sudo chown :tomcat /var/lib/tomcat9/remote.i12bretro.local.key<br />
	sudo chown :tomcat /var/lib/tomcat9/CA-Chain.pem<br />
	sudo cp /var/lib/tomcat9/conf/server.xml /var/lib/tomcat9/conf/server.xml.bkup<br />
