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
