Hello! I'm brand-new to Tomcat and am under the gun to learn it quickly. The short story: My University hired our Software Vendor to upgrade our administrative web software. We also hired them to move us from iPlanet to Jakarta Tomcat 5.0.28. Currently we can access our web software on port 80. The problem is enabling SSL on port 8443. We're stuck and the software vendor hasn't been helpful (yet). I don't know if the problem was caused by something the consultant did not do upon setup or something we are missing elsewhere.
Our webserver is an IBM P615C AIX 5.2 box. I have attempted the following to enable port 8443: 1) keytool -genkey -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA 2) Edited server.xml and uncommented the port 8443 connector 3) Stopped/Started Tomcat When I run telnet localhost 80 I get a connection. When I try telnet localhost 8443 I get a denied connection message. I have re-commented the port 8443 connector and then changed my port 80 (formerly 8080) to 8443 and restarted Tomcat. After doing this I was able to go to http://localhost:8443 with no problems. Of course, it is http and not https. Since the port activates I'm led to believe it's either a Tomcat setup issue or perhaps something to do with AIX. I changed things back so port 80 was active again and I uncommented port 8443 and restarted Tomcat again. The catalina.out log file shows some errors which may have something to do with the problem but I don't know what to do at this point. Please help this novice!
