Using SSL with Tomcat

[Jerome A. Wendell]

I am new to Tomcat, and just recently installed it as a container to run
GeoServer.  Everything is running fine, but now I have been asked to setup
GeoServer to run using SSL.  An EV Certificate is already installed on the
server.  Based on the documentation the default port for running Tomcat
using SSL is 8443.  I have configured the firewall to use port 8443, and
edited the server.xml by removing the commenting from the following section:

 

    <Connector port="8443"
protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol"

               maxThreads="150" SSLEnabled="true" scheme="https"
secure="true"

               clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" />

 

I restarted Tomcat, but it is still not listening on port 8443.  Is there
something else that I need to do to get Tomcat working on port 8443?

 

I am using Tomcat 7.0.54 on a Windows 2008 R2 64 bit server.

 

Any suggestions are appreciated.

 

Thanks,
