Hi Lukasz I'll bet you a reasonably-priced-beverage of your choice that your Linux production environment is running low on System entropy. The long delay is occurring while pseudo-random numbers are being generated for the Tomcat SSL Connector. A 'kill -3 <geronimo-process-id>' during your 2 minute wait should generate thread stack traces that would tell us for sure. Searching the geronimo user list for 'entropy' should find some previous discussions on the subject. There are some tricks for making the random number generator slightly less random, but less likely to encounter an entropy issue. --kevan
