I think "SSL Config HOW-TO" is just for you. :))
Did you do all it says about?
At least you need to generate a keystore with
aproprite sertificate.

The connector with SSL support is defined to listen on 8443 by default.
It's done by port attribute. Default port for https is 443.
So, if you want just https://yourHost/~yourUser you need to change port
attribute to 443 in server.xml Don't forget to change redirectPort in 
plain http connector.
