I did the following:

1. -created a request (CSR) at the TomCat install.
2. -bought a certificate at GoDaddy (I know, I know... client request).
3. -submitted the CSR.
4. -received the certificate back.

At this point, all I had to do was install the intermediate and then install the certificate reply to the CSR. TomCat says no.... chain not valid.

I tried many intermediate and root certficates in the GD repository but the final certificate would not install.
https://certs.godaddy.com/repository

Nothing worked for me at this point.

Here is how to fix:

1. -uninstall any certificate intermediate or root that I installed.
2. -open the certificate from GD in Windows.
3. -click the tab for the Certificate Path (at the top).
4. -click the intermediate certificate (the one in the middle).
5. -click VIEW-CERTIFICATE > DETAILS > COPY-TO-FILE
6. -click BASE-64-ENCODED-X-509

Now combine them:

1. -open the certificate from GD in a text editor.
2. -open the certificate from Intermediate in a text editor.
3. -copy and past the intermediate certificate directly below the GD certificate, like so:
   -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
MIICajCCAdOgAwIBAgIBAjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQUFADA7MQswCQYDVQQGEwJVSzEa ....
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
MIICkjCCAfugAwIBAgIJAKm5bDEMxZd7MA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBBQUAMDsxCzAJBgNV ....
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
4. -save the certificate.
5. -install the certificate in TomCat.
