I am having trouble getting an HTTPS connection to my tomcat server using the native APR connector under Tomcat 5.5.12. I am familiar with how to set up HTTPS connectors in 5.0.28 so I figured it would be easy to set up in 5.5.12 using the APR connector, but I think I am just missing something simple. Under Tomcat 5.0.28 here is what we were using: <Connector port="443" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75" enableLookups="false" disableUploadTimeout="true" acceptCount="100" scheme="https" secure="true" clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="SSL" keystoreFile="c:\certs\server\server.p12" keystorePass="serverPassword" keystoreType="PKCS12" /> After reading the docs located at http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/apr.html I took a stab at using the existing server.p12 file and exported the certificate in PEM encoding using Keystore Explorer 2.0 and saved it to c:\certs\server\server.cer When opening it in a text editor, I get the following which looks correct. -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIICqzCCAhSgAwIBAgIBAjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQQFADCBgTEZMBcGA1UEAxMQcm9j a2hvd3NlLmljLm9yZzEYMBYGA1UEChMPSW5maW5pdGUgQ2FtcHVzMRMwEQYDVQQL EwpIb3N0aW5nIENBMRQwEgYDVQQHEwtBcmRlbiBIaWxsczESMBAGA1UECBMJTWlu bmVzb3RhMQswCQYDVQQGEwJVUzAeFw0wNTExMjkyMTQ1MTVaFw0wNjExMjQyMTQ1 MTVaMIGDMRkwFwYDVQQDExByb2NraG93c2UuaWMub3JnMRgwFgYDVQQKEw9JbmZp bml0ZSBDYW1wdXMxFTATBgNVBAsTDFNpdGUgTWFuYWdlcjEUMBIGA1UEBxMLQXJk ZW4gSGlsbHMxEjAQBgNVBAgTCU1pbm5lc290YTELMAkGA1UEBhMCVVMwgZ8wDQYJ KoZIhvcNAQEBBQADgY0AMIGJAoGBAKhU44dOUQAaHPokbNbcoFvQpleL4zCJ6xKH C3nP0bQzB9XoXHNp/ec4EKOGhwfITbo8eEhAdXrAZNNEcH0BQYtd7QaT1GMqyJrV bQbcNBBqJnu9N4l8jAfclKp+6kMy2V4i6PIJB2E1zxTgS9ourhg36NGc1RCbUazz 0ussu8nbAgMBAAGjLzAtMAwGA1UdEwQFMAMBAQAwHQYDVR0lBBYwFAYIKwYBBQUH AwIGCCsGAQUFBwMBMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBBAUAA4GBAIGX1f3uCQgIpqa+rVJgZ2se FRRTPbZ576jpTqJtPlAARPCqBw2uM5tG36FV+dW9kVeWG3Y1GafLgpFUD5j/nl2p p47mUjYhQFqEzOkoW3WuNspKuDkd5TACn721vECdaUVTUEmpJ5XBb9Q710chv9ZO v6h8ZTNOoU2cvqJV3MhC -----END CERTIFICATE----- I then added the following connector to my server.xml <Connector port="443" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75" enableLookups="false" disableUploadTimeout="true" acceptCount="100" SSLCertificateFile="c:\certs\server\server.cer" /> But when I try to connect to the server using https://server/ the browser times out and I get a page cannot be found error. Thinking that it needed the private key as well I exported the primary key in PEM format and saved it to c:\certs\server\server.pem When I open it in a text editor, I get the following which also looks correct -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY----- MIICdgIBADANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAASCAmAwggJcAgEAAoGBAKhU44dOUQAaHPok bNbcoFvQpleL4zCJ6xKHC3nP0bQzB9XoXHNp/ec4EKOGhwfITbo8eEhAdXrAZNNE cH0BQYtd7QaT1GMqyJrVbQbcNBBqJnu9N4l8jAfclKp+6kMy2V4i6PIJB2E1zxTg S9ourhg36NGc1RCbUazz0ussu8nbAgMBAAECgYB5M8YwIn/IJwU+RwPnISyFb5KV 7q9Cv8t2p63no29G5Id7ybbnkyWyWngAhlirjdoJgojI3UC5hdYTGHA2UbUyzRe6 Fm5y26opOBYYfyLwu3hvVjYoIyhTX+QNfCRFcKNrIBKecmGmh+YIZwGGlru/1zHn fp4YmVodfJqEARRfIQJBANESeiK95X1EBXEwNIah3KuxvdJlMNc4oMLuCdLuGm7I 9ViBYI+3giiFKZjGvtwfeNHWyiU5s4PnnAOd48pJdHcCQQDOHWl+CkQ/OxRTrxI8 P+++Ucn35h/TsnVmTMfGYoiGYwYvx46rSZ3a++0TKwUDVn3KXEBzIMKslw61yiEU fyK9AkEAwZf3amYms3iiBW5apPQKjx21pLW4pQG1suqSRDPgXAdPUBX04P9O0dCE dQhLwS6PRNc8NX4ZoSF9EMhKHo0n/wJAcYnII7L6Fy6vKs3kqKW7pcYeEF2GqLHE c97VqVV7yTNhJA60a2x49TkTRhzLfSQ21LLumbyxICtx4ff/MvA5rQJAYOc1Dqmp kSl7vTrSeUuO4yRPi/R7ALRs6dqQQTtQ9egC1F+3sgIWb6rdJOBsdtEeFx0AGgfF +p3VdiyrJl2h5Q== -----END PRIVATE KEY----- I then modified the following connector in my server.xml <Connector port="443" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75" enableLookups="false" disableUploadTimeout="true" acceptCount="100" SSLCertificateFile="c:\certs\server\server.cer" SSLCertificateKeyFile="c:\certs\server\serverKey.key" SSLPassword="serverPassword" /> I also tried putting a few of the other attributes in that are SSL specific but it's still a no-go: <Connector port="443" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75" enableLookups="false" disableUploadTimeout="true" acceptCount="100" scheme="https" secure="true" SSLCertificateFile="c:\certs\server\server.cer" SSLCertificateKeyFile="c:\certs\server\serverKey.key" SSLPassword="serverPassword" /> And <Connector port="443" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75" enableLookups="false" disableUploadTimeout="true" acceptCount="100" secure="true" SSLCertificateFile="c:\certs\server\server.cer" SSLCertificateKeyFile="c:\certs\server\serverKey.key" SSLPassword="serverPassword" /> And <Connector port="443" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75" enableLookups="false" disableUploadTimeout="true" acceptCount="100" scheme="https" SSLCertificateFile="c:\certs\server\server.cer" SSLCertificateKeyFile="c:\certs\server\serverKey.key" SSLPassword="serverPassword" /> All to no avail =( I figure someone has gotten this working =D any assistance would be muchly appreciated!!! *Note* the PEM encoding above is valid as is the password for the private key. This information isn't being used in production and is a certificate I generated for testing purposes so feel free to use it to test anything out. -rOcK --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
