We are having trouble with the https (port 8443) connection on an app that runs on Tomcat 7. The app is running fine on http (port 80) now. I have uncommented the "Define a SSL ..." section in the server.xml file and set all the property values (see below). However, when I try to run the app through a browser, I get the error, "The remote device or resource won't accept the connection."
Also, when I run a port utility on the server to see what ports are open and listening, it displays port 80 for Tomcat, and port 443 is also listening. Java version 1.6, Tomcat 7 versions.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated as I've been banging my head on this one for weeks.
<connector port="443" maxhttpheadersize="8192" maxthreads="150" minsparethreads="25"
maxsparethreads="75" enablelookups="false" disableuploadtimeout="true" acceptcount="100"
scheme="https" secure="true" sslprotocol="TLS" clientauth="false"
keystorefile="K:/tomcat1.keystore" keystorepass="password"
command i used to generate keystore file
keytool -genkey -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA -keystore K:/tomcat1.keystore
password: password
I could see in cmd prompt- OpenSSL succeessfully initiated while starting tomcat server.
Help me out
Atlast it started working... Installed new copy of server, modified server.xml as below,
<Connector connectionTimeout="20000" port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
redirectPort="8443"/>
<!-- A "Connector" using the shared thread pool-->
<!--
<Connector executor="tomcatThreadPool"
port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
connectionTimeout="20000"
redirectPort="8443" />
-->
<!-- 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 SSLEnabled="true" acceptCount="100" clientAuth="false"
disableUploadTimeout="true" enableLookups="false"
keystoreFile="k:/tomcat.keystore" keystorePass="*****"

<!-- Define an AJP 1.3 Connector on port 8009 -->

Used below command to generate keystore file
keytool -genkey -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA -keystore k:/tomcat.keystore
