Dhavel,
I'm unable to get the certificate signed by someone like Verisign so I've
been using self signed certificates. To do this all I've done is follow the
advice on the help page, using the command "keytool =genkey -alias
localhost -keyalg RSA" Once that's done I've linked from server.xml to the
.keystore file created using this.
Is this right or am I missing a step?
Mark

Subject: Re: Problem with setting up an SSL secure page
Hi,
I have setup small guide on SSL with Tomcat 5.5. You can find it at
http://www.mail-archive.com/users%40tomcat.apache.org/msg02500.html
But that guide is in Tomcat 5.5 with APR (Apache Portable Runtime). It
works with
self-generated certificates. (I think it does not work with Verisign
certificates but I am not
100% sure) Try to follow the guide and you will be able to setup SSL. But
make sure that you use
Tomcat 5.5 because it has APR connector (tcnative-1.dll).
Once you setup SSL, test it on https://localhost or
https://localhost:port . Then use the
following snippet to enable SSL in your web-app.
<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>Secure</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
<http-method>GET</http-method>
<http-method>POST</http-method>
</web-resource-collection>
<user-data-constraint>
<transport-guarantee>CONFIDENTIAL</transport-guarantee>
</user-data-constraint>
</security-constraint>

May be someone help you out with Tomcat 5.0 but since I know things are
working with Tomcat
5.5 so I thought above instructions will make you move quickly.
Let us know your experience.

Subject: Problem with setting up an SSL secure page
Dear all,
I am currently designing a final year project for my University course
and I
am having problems getting a working SSL connection. I have Tomcat set
up
and working fine, but when it comes to accessing a page over the https
setup, I am having no luck.
Firstly a few technical details. I am using Windows XP Home, with
Internet
Explorer 6.0.2900.2180. I am using the latest Java installation, jdk
1.5.0_05 and so the JSSE comes installed with that. I'm using Tomcat
5.0,
the latest installation available (it's only been installed on my system
for
the last few weeks). I have McAffe Security Centre installed but the
problem occurs even with this turned off.
Now the problem. I have followed word by word the set up instructions in
the Tomcat manual. I have created the certificate and verified it using
the
command line. I have altered the server.xml file to include the path
"keystorePath="D:/FYPCode/keystore" "where I have copied the keystore to.
I've done everything. Yet when I type https://localhost:8443 in the
browser
window I get nothing. When using IE it takes ages to search for the
page,
then eventually I get "This page cannot be displayed" and in Mozilla I
get a
message after a couple of minutes saying the page has timed out and get
left
with a blank page. So I can't load the page up at all.
I've tried everything I can think of to get it to work. I have 3
different
books on this subject and I've followed the instructions in every one to
try
and get this to work. Nothing has worked. I did a Google search using
as
many different combinations of words I can think of but the only help I
get
is for Tomcat 3 and the old JSSE installation. So I'm lost. I did even
think about installing the JSSE 1.3 to see if that had an effect, as I
can't
find any of the jar files that are mentionned in that area. However, I
felt
it best to ignore that as it says.
So as you can see I've tried everything I can think of. Nothing as
worked.
If anyone can help me I would be extremely grateful.
Many thanks
Mark Whitby
