Ok, let's ask this. Has the current binary for Tomcat 3.2.1 been compiled to use JSSE? I've seen posts in the archive that indicate previous binaries were not, but that may have been during beta. I am using the Tomcat 3.2.1 binary which I downloaded on Monday. We want a standalone configuration as all of our pages are jsp, no static pages at all, thus no real need for Apache. I can get the standard connection at port 8080 to work, but when I try to connect vis SSL with IE5 I get a blank certificates dialog box asking me to choose a certificate. I have followed the intsructions in the tomcat-ssl-howto and in server.xml. What have I missed? The tomcat-ssl-howto mentions something about a selfSign.pem, but doesn't say anything about creating it, or where to put it, or anything. I told keytool that I wanted my keystore to be /usr/local/tomcat/conf/keystore and it created that file in that directory. Everything else seems to be ok. When I hit the https address (https://ip.add.re.ss:8443/examples/jsp/index.htm) tomcat reports: 2000-12-20 10:50:21 - Ctx( ): 400 R( /) null 2000-12-20 10:50:21 - Ctx( ): IOException in: R( /) Socket closed I've set the logging in server.xml to DEBUG for all three log files, but nothing additional seems to be recorded in the logs. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Dion Vansevenant Internetwork Administrator MRO.com
