Just out of curiousity, are there any error messages in your logs that might narrow down what might be happening? :-)
I am not sure if this will help or not, but I just did some digging around in the tomcat docs, and it seems that there is a different syntax for the connector that can be used. The alternative syntax - from the documentation - looks like this: <Connector port="443" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75" enableLookups="false" disableUploadTimeout="true" acceptCount="100" scheme="https" secure="true" SSLEngine="on" SSLCertificateFile="${catalina.base}/conf/localhost.crt" SSLCertificateKeyFile="${catalina.base}/conf/localhost.key" /> Most of the attributes for the connector are the same. There are some notable additions, however. The port has changed, and there are now SSLEngine, SSLCertificateFile and SSLCertificateKeyFile properties. > GeoTrust finally came up with a kb article just last week that solves > the problem where you have a certificate for your IIS server but want to > run mid-tier on tomcat/catalina instead of IIS, and need to move the > certificate over.
