Manjunath,

I am running a Self-signed certificate with Tomcat on Linux (Mandrake 
8.0, kernel 2.4.5)

As i said before you need to build tomcat from source, with jsse.jar, 
jcert.jar etc. (the file i got from Sun that contains these is 
jsse-1_0_2-gl.zip ) in your classpath.

The Ant build process will automatically SSL-enable tomcat during the 
build process if jsse.jar is found.

For more detail on  building and configuring an SSL-enabled tomcat, you 
need to follow the instructions at:

http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-3.2-doc/tomcat-ssl-howto.html

After you have built, you need to use 'keytool' to create and install a  
certificate.

I have only installed a certificate that i created myself with OpenSSL - 
Not sure if this is available on Windows.

If you need to use a 3rd party certificate, you may have to convert it 
to the correct format required by keytool. There is a utility to do this 
available on the net, but i can't find it right now.

If you follow the instructions in the docs, you should get a working 
SSL-tomcat.
