I need to create a site with SSL using a self signed certificate and BASIC authentication. I downloaded and installed Tomcat 5.5.15, with JDK1.5.5_05 on an XP Pro machine.
I followed the instructions in the SSL Configuration HOW-TO section in the online documentation, creating my keystore and certificate, using the default "changeit" password, and uncommented the 8443 connector. Everything is fine when I send a request on 8080 (either to my app or the default Tomcat page), but when I use 8443 (again for either my app or the default), I get no login challenge, but instead a page with just a few unprintable characters. Nothing shows up in any of the logs. Thanks for any suggestions.
