I too had bad time with this implementation because of fact I mis spelled keystore as keystores
what i see in your server.xml is sslProtocal is that required ? secondly i think you need to give the name of keystore file not just .keystore check snippet of my server.xml and compare <Connector className="org.apache.coyote.tomcat4.CoyoteConnector" port="8443" minProcessors="5" maxProcessors="75" enableLookups="true" acceptCount="100" debug="0" scheme="https" secure="true" useURIValidationHack="false" disableUploadTimeout="true"> <Factory className="org.apache.coyote.tomcat4.CoyoteServerSocketFactory" clientAuth="false" keystoreFile="c:\birendar\mykey.keystore" keystorePass="changeit" protocol="TLS" /> </Connector> see it this helps you .
