Yes, I do have a CA-issued certificate with a chain to a trusted CA. I've imported it to the keystore. I am close to a solution. When I attempt to open the default Apache web page using "https:" I get an error page that says that the server cannot open the page. It opens with "http:" just fine. I have configured the normal ports i.e. "80" and "443" to redirect to "8443". The reason for this is that the users having to include the port numbers (8080 or 8443) would not be acceptable. They need only enter the DNS name into the browser and DNS does the rest.
I am missing something in the configuration of SERVER.XML, WEB.XML or both to get the server to answer to an https connection. I cannot find what it is that I have not done or I have missed! Any input would be appreciated. Best... Jeffrey D.
