Hi, i have installed the latest version of Apache Tomcat 5.5.17 on Windows XP platform using the installer and the server is running as a service. I have created the keystore as it is described in the tomcat documentation and have also uncommented the connector for SSL in /conf/server.xml. My problem is, that the SSL doesn't work. Connections on port 8080 work perfect, also the connections on port 8443 (using http, not https) works fine (at least most of them, i was testing it on the default tomcat page and everything worked fine except of the tomcat documentation page, i don't know why it doesn't work). The problem is, that when i enter the https://localhost:8443/URL into the browser, the browser seems that it is opening the page, but after a minute or two the browser shows an error, that the page cannot be opened. I get no dialog about accepting or rejecting the certificate (which is by the way self-signed), i have tested it with Internet Explorer 6.0 and Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.4, but the problem is the same on both. Interesting thing about it is that whether i add the keystoreFile property to the server.xml file defining the path to the keystore or not, i always end up with loading page problem. Also if i change the password to the keystore and enter completely different password to the server.xml file, it ends up the same, problem loading page.
Thanks in advance for your replies Matus
