Hi, I am running Tomcat 5.5 on a Windows 2003 server box, using Sun JRE 1.5.0_11. Since I want to have SSL support on my server, I followed the instructions on
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/ssl-howto.html first creating a self-signed certificate and then uncommenting the SSL Connector on port 8443. After a restart of the tomcat service i expected to have the SSL up and running but alas. When accessing http://localhost:8443 it works fine, hence the connector seems active on the port. But when trying to access https://localhost:8443 , my IE7 browser stands hanging for a pretty long while until it declares that the page cannot be opened. No error messages whatsoever to be found in the tomcat logs. I have the same problem on another box which runs Windows 2000 Server, all other things the same. Please help me figure out what is wrong!
