Unless I'm not understanding things correctly, setting up SSL on Tomcat would require getting another SSL certificate to be kept in the keystore for Tomcat, but I don't want to get another certificate since I already have one for main web site itself. I assume that means having to go with the second solution you mentioned, using the JK connector. Where would be a good reference source for information on doing that?
