Paul,

The protocol "https" is hard-wired to port 443.  Using port 8443 as you
have done works, but only with the hardcoded port number in the URL, as
you have found out.  To make Tomcat SSL work using "https", you must
modify the SSL port used - in server.xml.  Change 8443 to 443 and
restart Tomcat.

Also, if you want others to access your machine, change port 8080 to
port 80 in server.xml.  This will allow them to access static web pages
using just "http".  However, if you have another web server (i.e. IIS)
running on port 80, you will have to decide if Tomcat gets port 80 (shut
off IIS) or if they coexist.  There is assistance here and in the Tomcat
FAQs if you want to run both IIS and Tomcat.

Cheers,

I have been trying to get SSL to work with tomcat 3.2.3 on Windows NT.
         I've followed the steps on differenet web sites and I now have
the
server configured so that it works with the URL
http://localhost:8080/index.html as well as
https://localhost:8443/index.html (for the SSL).
        But when using the https prefix I cannot get the web page to
display
if  I put the IP address in instead of localhost  and so cannot view it
from
another computer.Any ideas???
