Problem with implementing SSL

[Deepa Jayaprakash]

Hello,

I'm trying to set up SSL using tomcat 5.5.12.Given that I'm using Java 5.0 (JDK&JRE 1.5.06) I haven't bothered with JSSE (Java Secure Sockets
Extension), since it's supposed to be included in the JRE as of version 5.0.

Using keytool I have created a keystore for localhost with the password "changeit" and I have uncommented the SSL Connector in the server.xml file, leaving the SSL port to 8443.

When I try to access https://localhost:8443, i get "Page not found screen".
I could not get any help from the Tomcat logs.

I checked this command "netstart -an" in command prompt ,port 8443 was not listed.
In the how_to which i downloaded from apache site ,says that the follwing should be present in server.xml file

<Connector className="org.apache.catalina.connector.http.HttpConnector"

port="8443" minProcessors="5" maxProcessors="75"

enableLookups="true"

acceptCount="10" debug="0" scheme="https" secure="true">

<Factory className="org.apache.catalina.net.SSLServerSocketFactory"

clientAuth="false" protocol="TLS"/>

</Connector>


But our server.xml file has only the following,

<Connector port="8443"
maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
enableLookups="false" disableUploadTimeout="true"
acceptCount="100" scheme="https" secure="true"
clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" />

The factory tag is missing,if it should be added,please let me know in which tomcat folder i should add "org.apache.catalina.SSLServerSocketFactory' jar file.

Log file doesn't show any error
Is there something I am missing? Could someone suggest a solution?

Thanks

It has been a while, but when I got Tomcat 5 running with SSL, I had to include a declaration of where to find the store in the JAVA_OPTS setting in catalina.bat (all on one line in the original)

set JAVA_OPTS=
-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore="c:\Data\x\keystore\clientkeys" 
-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword="keystorePass" 
-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore="c:\Data\x\keystore\clientkeys" 
-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword="keystorePass"
    

In server.xml I had to add keystoreFile and keystorePass attributes to the Connector for the port.
