RE: How to check whether a SSL certificate has been correctly installed
Tom, Most if not all browsers let you view the certificate that was received from the web server. You won't receive one unless you have an https connection. If you can view it and verify it's the correct one, then it's been installed correctly and the connection is encrypted.

A couple of ways: 1. Connect via a web browser: use the https:// protocol. If the server is speaking HTTP then you'll get an error message. 2. Use sslscan (http://www.titania.co.uk ; some Linux distros have it in their package management systems). Just run sslscan [hostname] 3. https://www.ssllabs.com/ - use their test my website tool at the bottom of their home page. It tells you about your certificates -- including making sure that you have a full cert chain and that the certs are in the right order). It also tells you about other things like if you are susceptible to BEAST and CRIME, and gives you a grade based upon criteria I can't quite discern. 4. Use openssl's s_client: $ openssl s_client -connect hostname:port It will give you some diagnostic information and actually let you issue an HTTP request: it's pretty much 'telnet' except that it tunnels it through SSL. I'm sure there are other ways, too. - -chris -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.17 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlBzHoEACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PADEACfcpk6Unx5E7loXtzLnB6UAtT7 Lm0AoKzuRAHpSGKuynGMaw/vGaqMEtq4 =JLtL -END PGP SIGNATURE- - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
