Hello, Thanks for the advice, I had installed the APR as tomcat was failing to shutting down in Windows without it.
Since my overall objective is to use an existing X509 certificate signed by an academic CA (not Versign or Thwate) I decided to try the openssl. I followed the steps outlined in the http://www.mail-archive.com/users%40tomcat.apache.org/msg02500.html I have an existing p12 file which is split into a key and a certificate, I only performed the openssl rsa -in userkey.pem -out server.key command to replace the passphrase from the private key. I edited the conf/server.xml file as directed and pointed the SSLCertificateFile to the usercert.pem file and the SSLCertificateKeyFile to the generated server.key file. I started tomcat - no errors in the logs and when I try to connect on https://localhost:8443 I receive the following alert: "Could not establish an encrypted connection because the certificate presented by localhost is invalid or corrupted. Error Code: -8101" The CA root certificate whom has signed my certificate is loaded into the browser (along with my certificate). It seems like its a problem with my certificates? Thanks, Julie.
