I want to configure SSL on my Tomcat which is running locally on windows operating system. I tried creating a self signed digital certificate, added the same in Tomcat's server.xml but still I am not able to run my local host as following.

https://localhost:8443 or https://localhost

any idea, what I am missing?

What does the logfile say? Does netstat -a -n list port 8443 or 443 as LISTENING? What does your server.xml file look like exactly? (delete excessive comments to make it more readable) – Hendrik Brummermann Dec 3 '11 at 13:16
Thanks for responding. I am not able to see 8443 or 443 ports as active one. This is the snippet of the Server.xml <Connector port="8443" maxThreads="150" scheme="https" secure="true" clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" keystoreFile="../webapps/xxx.bin" keystorePass="xxx" /> – p_upadhyay Dec 3 '11 at 13:56
Try to use an absolute path for the keyStore file (and change the password after you posted it). What about the logfiles and the netstat output? – Hendrik Brummermann Dec 3 '11 at 13:58
NetStat OutPut: TCP 0.0.0.0:8443 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING – p_upadhyay Dec 3 '11 at 14:01
