It looks as if tomcat is configured for 2-way SSL. So the client (browser) should have a certificate that the server can trust. I think you could try to install a certificate from a good CA in your browser truststore, and try using that.
I wonder if the other apps are running because tomcat selectively allows apps to be 2 way ssl configured - I am not sure of this. 2009/2/17 gmail_ber <berh...@gmail.com> > > Hi all > A colleague has set up a web app via https using tomcat on a server that I > have access to.
