Re: SSL Connector port problems

Those ports you mentioned are privileged ports, I think you can only use them if you have ROOT rights (UNIX) or admin rights (Windoze NT/2000), if you don't have root rights I don´t think Tomcat can bind to a privileged port. Do you start Tomcat as ROOT? Mvh KR -- To unsubscribe, e-mail:
