Can't set-up Tomcat for ssl. Please help.

[Alex Colic <al...@pop-ware.com>]

Help,

I have been trying to set up tomcat to run ssl direct.

I have done the following:

1: I added the following to server.xml
  <Connector className="org.apache.tomcat.service.PoolTcpConnector">
    <Parameter name="handler"
       value="org.apache.tomcat.service.http.HttpConnectionHandler"/>
    <Parameter name="port" value="8443"/>
    <Parameter name="socketFactory"
value="org.apache.tomcat.net.SSLSocketFactory" />
    <Parameter name="clientAuth" value="true"/>
  </Connector>

2: edited the java.security file
3: added jcer.jar, jnet.jar and jss3.jar to jre/lib/ext and tomcat/lib
4: created a key via keytool

I think the above is all I need to do but..how am I to access SSL.

If I open up a web page via http://localhost/myapp/index.jsp the page loads
but if I open it up via https://localhost/myapp/index.jsp it does not. If I
go to the command prompt I can see that no exceptions were thrown.

Any help in understanding how to get Tomcat and direct ssl to work is
appreciated.

If you're running Tomcat standalone, try changing the port value to 443
rather than 8443 (and make sure any firewalls are configured to allow this
protocol) (or of course append :8443 to your https request).
