HTTPS from remote client

[banderson <br...@thomson.com>]

I have a self-signed certificate (generated with keytool -genkey -alias
tomcat -keyalg RSA) and modified my server.xml file to uncomment the
connector on port 8443.  After restarting tomcat, I can access
https://localhost:8443 no problem, but when I try to reach it from a remote
computer, it times out.  Please let me know what I am missing.

A firewall between the remote computer and Tomcat?  Unless you've
allowed port 8443 to go through, a timeout would be the expected
symptom.  If you happen to be running on a reasonably recent version of
Windows, unusual ports are blocked by default.
