I've tried to do my homework but I'm still having trouble with getting HTTPS to work.
For starters: Server is Windows 2003 Standard Server, SP1. Java version is jdk1.5.0_04 plus update 11. Tomcat version is 5.5.20. Tomcat is set up to run as a service using the native dlls. I've built a keystore, created a CSR, gotten a cert from InstantSSL and loaded the 3 certificates from InstantSSL into the keystore. Next I modified server.xml to enable 8443, refer to the location of the keystore and provide the password. Then I restarted Tomcat HTTP works fine with either 8080 or 8443, returning the splash page. If I use HTTPS, IE eventually times out with the generic DNS error page. It is consistent in this whether I use localhost, the ip address or the eventual domain name (presently set up in the hosts file for testing). I've reinstalled Java and Tomcat thinking I missed something. I got a replacement cert and built a new keystore. Same results. There are no errors logged relative to this in either the windows logs or the Tomcat logs. I'm new at Java and Tomcat so I'd appreciate a pointer or two on where to look next.
