I am able to successfully set up play application with SSL when I use my
own system generated certificate + Key files.

openssl genrsa 1024 > host.key
openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -sha1 -days 365 -key host.key > host.cert

However, when I use the production key + cert (filename.pfx + filename.pem)
it does not work. I rename the files to host.key and host.cert according to
the documentation but still not working. I get an error in the browser
stating:
=======================
SSL connection errorUnable to make a secure connection to the server. This
may be a problem with the server, or it may be requiring a clientauthentication
certificate that you don't have.Error 107 (net::ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR):
SSL protocol error.
=======================

The server throws a ClassCastException on the CLI

java.lang.ClassCastException: org.bouncycastle.asn1.cms.ContentInfo cannot
be cast to java.security.KeyPair

Any ideas on how I should proceed?
