Hi, I am having a problem getting Tomcat to work properly with SSL.
My server.xml file contains the lines shown below, which appear fine to me.
<!-- Define a non-SSL Coyote HTTP/1.1 Connector on the port specified
during installation -->
<Connector port="8080"
maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100"
debug="0" connectionTimeout="20000"
disableUploadTimeout="true" />
<!-- Define a SSL Coyote HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8443 -->
<Connector port="8443"
maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
enableLookups="false" disableUploadTimeout="true"
acceptCount="100" debug="0" scheme="https" secure="true"
clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" />
Tomcat works fine with html pages, JSPs and servlets until such time
as they require SSL, and then I get the following message:
Unable to connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:8443.
* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try
again in a few moments.
* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's
network connection.
* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or
proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
or, in IE:
The page cannot be displayed
The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site
might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to
adjust your browser settings.

Please try the following:
...
If I enter https://localhost:8443 into the address bar of my browser
(Firefox) I don't get the Tomcat splash page, as described in
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/ssl-howto.html#Edit%20the%20Tomcat%20Configuration%20File.
If anyone can suggest any other configuration details, or tests that
I can use to figure out the problem, I would be grateful.
Thankyou,
Gavin Alexander
