Real helpful ... I searched on SRV.12 and it brought up a bunch of links that have nothing to do with Tomcat config of SSL.
I probably posted a lame request. Let me try again. I have purchased a certificate via Verisign, and I have installed the certificate into a keystore. I am running Windows XP and Tomcat 5.5.12. I put the keystore and Cert.cer in the Tomcat/bin directory for organiation. I read that the default is usually in the home directory where tomcat is installed on Unix. But that is another OS. I followed the docs here under Tomcat 5 SSL and ran across this: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/ssl-howto.html The final step is to configure your secure socket in the $CATALINA_HOME/conf/server.xml file, where $CATALINA_HOME represents the directory into which you installed Tomcat 5. An example <Connector> element for an SSL connector is included in the default server.xml file installed with Tomcat. It will look something like this: <-- Define a SSL Coyote HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8443 --> <!-- <Connector port="8443" minProcessors="5" maxProcessors="75" enableLookups="true" disableUploadTimeout="true" acceptCount="100" debug="0" scheme="https" secure="true"; clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS"/> --> Anyway I uncommented this snippet from my Tomcat server.xml file and restarted. But I cannot hit https://localhost:8443 like the read-me states. I have checked all $TOMCAT_HOME/logs and see nothing. It just hangs when trying to call it. I can hit http://localhost and all is happy. But the certificate states it is coming from a certain URL. So I am not sure how that all works. I hope this may help someone feed me back some relevant information.
