Hi Peter,

I've done this and got it working. What I did was the following (on
Windows, Tomcat 5.5, Java 1.5):

1) Goto $JAVA_HOME\bin
2) keytool -genkey -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA -keystore
c:\websites\keystore\.keystore
3) edit server.xml
3a) uncomment <Connector port="8443" ...... />
3b) add the following to this connector:
keystoreFile="C:\websites\keystore\.keystore", resulting in something
like this:

<Connector port="8443" keystoreFile="C:\websites\keystore\.keystore"
 maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
 enableLookups="false" disableUploadTimeout="true"
 acceptCount="100" scheme="https" secure="true"
 clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" />

4) restart tomcat
5) test: https://localhost:8443/

Good luck!

Roger
