Thanks Peter I Just wanted you to know that I sure do appreciate the help . I know how important time is. The SSL was not working and there was no classname under the SSL section of the server.xml file so I was trying a few different names. I was trying some different classnames to see if I could get the SSL to work and yes you are right if you change the class name and take a guess the server will not even start. Using the default name from the how to docs will get the server started but the SSL still did not work .So now I can scratch that off the list and look at the keytool .exe file. Are there certain directories that should hold the keystore file and other related SSL files.? Does Tomcat expect to see the keystore file and certs in a certain default location under tomcat ? In the past I have been told no from Verisign but from the docs that I have read it sure looks that way. Thanks again for the help on the class name that makes sense. I just wasn't sure if that name was right or just an example that was suposed to be replaced by our domain name.

That package name is internal to Tomcat, and is set by the developers. If you change it in your config file, unless you have another appropriate connector in a library somewhere, you'll *definitely* screw up your configuration. If you're interested in the gory details of where the name comes from, open up server/lib/catalina.jar in your tomcat installation with something like Winzip and follow the package names down - you'll find the .class file in there. - Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
