I'm trying to use the let's encrypt certificate for both Apache HTTPD and TOMCAT service of my ubuntu server VPS.
I found where there are letsencrypt stored certs looking into apache configuration, it was write by certboot script, and Apache is well working with this cert.
I use the same link for tomcat server.xml configuration but I got a permission denied error in its log:
SEVERE: Failed to initialize end point associated with ProtocolHandler ["http-apr-8443"]

As far as I know this answer to ls command shows that there is READ permission for symlink and real file for everybody. Am I right? So why tomcat is complaining about permissions if I'm pointing its cert to /etc/letsencrypt/live/mysite.org/cert.pem
?
