Keep in mind that when using Tomcat and the BIO (default) or NIO connectors, you'll need a keystore in either Java Keystore or PKCS12 format. <http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/ssl-howto.html#Prepare_the_Certificate_Keystore> http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/ssl-howto.html#Prepare_the_Certificate_Keystore Based on the documentation the default port for running Tomcat > using SSL is 8443.

It's possible that something failed with your SSL setup and so it's not listening on port 8443. From your configuration, I'd guess that it's not able to find your keystore. See the "keystore*" attributes here, specifically keystoreFile. <http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/http.html#SSL_Support_-_BIO_and_NIO> http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/http.html#SSL_Support_-_BIO_and_NIO Dan > > > > I am using Tomcat 7.0.54 on a Windows 2008 R2 64 bit server. > > > > Any suggestions are appreciated. > > > > Thanks, > > > > Jerome Wendell > > > > Daniel, In reviewing the documentation, since I am just using Tomcat as a container it seems that I should not have to implement SSL as shown below: Is there any additional configuration in Tomcat to operate as described above, or is all of the setup in Microsoft IIS?
