Hi,

I have followed the instructions at: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.0-doc/ssl-howto.html to enable SSL.

Problem:
when i try to access the jsp page using : https://locahost:8443/login.jsp ... a dialogue pops up saying:

"

Unable to establish a secure connection to 'localhost'. There is a problem with the security ceritificate from that site. (The identity of certificate issuer is unknown).

The information you view and send will be readable to others while in transit, and it may not go to the intended party.

Continue loading this page ?

Stop Continue

"

When i hit continue i can still access my jsp pae and everything works fine. The only problem is that SSL is not being used since the connection could not be established as warned by the dialogue box that popped up.

The certificate i had generate was using keytool just like its explained on the howto webpage. I am using internet explorer 5.2 on Mac OS X.

Can anybody please shed some light on where i am going wrong. ?

Your problem is that you're using IE ! IE (on Macs, at least) will not accept a certificate unless it has been signed by an already-known certificate authority (eg Verisign). The quick solution is to switch to Netscape 7, which allows you to decide whether to accept the certificate or not. BTW Safari is as brain-dead as IE in this respect.
