To support ssl in tomcat….I make a Keystore file. that contain self-signed certificate…..and then open server.xml file of tomcat 7.0 and locate this code in server.xml
` <!-- Define a SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8443
This connector uses the JSSE configuration, when using APR, the
connector should be using the OpenSSL style configuration
described in the APR documentation -->
<!-- <Connector port="8443" protocol="HTTP/1.1" SSLEnabled="true"
maxThreads="150" scheme="https" secure="true"
clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" /> --> `
and remove comment from connector and put KeystoreFile entry and KeystorePass entry in uncommented connector code like following this………
` <Connector port="8443" protocol="HTTP/1.1" SSLEnabled="true"
maxThreads="150" scheme="https" secure="true"
clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" **keystoreFile**="d:\cpademo.keystore"
**keystorePass**="cpademo"/> `
The above code works in tomcat 6.0...and allow https connection with tomcat but i get the error in tomcat 7.0 log file which indicate that it does not suppoert connection to https 8443 connection. Error in log file is following as.....
ERROR:
SEVERE: Failed to initialize end point associated with ProtocolHandler ["http-ap
r-8443"]
java.lang.Exception: Connector attribute SSLCertificateFile must be defined when
using SSL with APR
at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.AprEndpoint.bind(AprEndpoint.java:484)
at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.AbstractEndpoint.init(AbstractEndpoint.java:554)
Pls help me sort out this problem. Thanx in advance

You are using the APR/native connector with the SSL configuration for the JSSE connectors (BIO and NIO). The simplest fix will be to comment out the APR lifecycle listener in server.xml.
