SSL Configuration in Tomcat 5.0 1

[vidz]

Hi,

I am trying to to Configure SSL in Tomcat 5.0. I created a new Keystore with a single self-signed certificate following the instructions in

http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.0-doc/ssl-howto.html

keytool -genkey -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA

And this is the SSL Connector in server.xml
<Connector className="org.apache.coyote.tomcat5.CoyoteConnector"
port="8443" minProcessors="5" maxProcessors="75"
enableLookups="true" disableUploadTimeout="true"
acceptCount="100" debug="0" scheme="https" secure="true" clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS"/>

But when i try to open the tomcat home page with

https://localhost:8080/

in IE it says "Cannot find server"
Does anyone have an idea what is wrong?

Thanks in advance,
Vidya

If you are using Tomcat standalone (ie fronted by Apache HTTPD), then alter the port from 8443 to 443, and use the URL :

https://localhost

Glad to hear it.

BTW, typo by me :

If you are using Tomcat standalone (ie fronted by Apache HTTPD)

Should read :

If you are using Tomcat standalone (ie not fronted by Apache HTTPD)
