I spent an evening this week setting up Tomcat with SSL - generating the certificate and configuring Tomcat. I was able to get it to work - Hooray!
However I noticed a problem that I haven't seen documented anywhere. After I uncomment the SSL connector in server.xml - Tomcat 4.0.1 will no longer start as a service (using windows NT 2000 server.) It does however start using startup.bat.... I am using a self generated ssl key - having followed the instructions in the documentation. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to run ssl with it running as a service - and if not, is this a documented issue that will be resolved in future versions of Tomcat? I don't think it is necessary that i post anything connector xml here, but if anyone thinks it might be necessary - i'll do it.. Thanks... Randy
