Citing my response to your post on tomcat-users:

Likely because you specified the APR connector somewhere in your
connector config, yet the SSL instructions you cited for CAS describe
the setup for the pure-java connectors.  APR is a different (but
friendly) beast.

There's no best way.  SSL setup depends on several considerations:
 - Desired performance and available characteristics of your servlet container
 - Maintenance considerations (e.g. recompiling APR for new Tomcat installs)
 - Expertise

We've been using the APR connectors for Tomcat here at VT for ages and
are perfectly satisfied for a few reasons:
 - Uses of OpenSSL under the hood, with enables avoiding keystore management
 - Provides directives similiar to mod_ssl which is both familiar to
us and well documented
 - Performance characteristics are arguably the best of any of the
available connectors

If you don't like dealing with native code in Java apps, then the APR
connectors might not be for you.  In any case this is much more a
consideration for the underlying servlet container than CAS per se.
