Questions regarding SSL
I've tried to do my homework but I'm still having trouble with getting HTTPS to work.
For starters:
Server is Windows 2003 Standard Server, SP1.
Java version is jdk1.5.0_04 plus update 11.
Tomcat version is 5.5.20. Tomcat is set up to run as a service using the native dlls.
I've built a keystore, created a CSR, gotten a cert from InstantSSL and loaded the 3 certificates from InstantSSL into the keystore.
Next I modified server.xml to enable 8443, refer to the location of the keystore and provide the password. Then I restarted Tomcat
HTTP works fine with either 8080 or 8443, returning the splash page. If I use HTTPS, IE eventually times out with the generic DNS error page. It is consistent in this whether I use localhost, the ip address or the eventual domain name (presently set up in the hosts file for testing).
I've reinstalled Java and Tomcat thinking I missed something. I got a replacement cert and built a new keystore. Same results.
There are no errors logged relative to this in either the windows logs or the Tomcat logs.
I'm new at Java and Tomcat so I'd appreciate a pointer or two on where to look next.

The docs are always a good place. Note the following at the top of the
Tomcat SSL how-to:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/ssl-howto.html
IMPORTANT NOTE: This Howto refers to usage of JSSE. When using APR,
Tomcat will use OpenSSL, which uses a different configuration.
Since you say you're using the native dlls, you probably need to look
here:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/apr.html

Can we have a look at the connectors chunk of your server.xml file?
