Tomcat and SSL Problem

[TOMit]

Hi all,

I have a problem, I don't quite understand.
I have set up Tomcat and everything is fine.
Additionally, I want the server only to run on SSL and therefore I did the following:
- create keystore.jks and server.cer
- Configured Tomcat's server.xml:
- I redirected the localhost:80 to port 8449
- and set up the ssl on port 8449
When starting up, there is still a coneection to "localhost", but no redirection and also

https://localhost:8449

does not work, i.e. I see no page, just "This site is not available!". The lock on the right bottom does also not appear.

My question is:
What did I miss? And: do I have to run Apache2, too?! I thought Tomcat is enough.
How do I configure Tomcat to work only on SSL?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Tom

Hi,

I got it working.

Same topic, different question:
How it is possible to limit access to special users?
Do they have to get a "personal" certificate? The portal has also a login functionality. Is this enough security, besides that it cannot be secure enough!?

Thanks again,
Tom
