    copied!<p>I am mostly following this page:</p> <p><a href="http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/ssl-howto.html" rel="noreferrer">http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/ssl-howto.html</a></p> <p>I used this command to create the keystore</p> <p>keytool -genkey -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA -keystore /etc/tomcat6/keystore</p> <p>and answered the prompts</p> <p>Then i edited my server.xml file and uncommented/edited this line</p> <pre><code>&lt;Connector port="8443" protocol="HTTP/1.1" SSLEnabled="true" maxThreads="150" scheme="https" secure="true" clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" keystoreFile="/etc/tomcat6/keystore" keystorePass="tomcat" /&gt; </code></pre> <p>then I go to the web.xml file for my project and add this into the file</p> <pre><code> &lt;security-constraint&gt; &lt;web-resource-collection&gt; &lt;web-resource-name&gt;Security&lt;/web-resource-name&gt; &lt;url-pattern&gt;/*&lt;/url-pattern&gt; &lt;/web-resource-collection&gt; &lt;user-data-constraint&gt; &lt;transport-guarantee&gt;CONFIDENTIAL&lt;/transport-guarantee&gt; &lt;/user-data-constraint&gt; &lt;/security-constraint&gt; </code></pre> <p>When I try to run my webapp I am met with this:</p> <pre><code>Unable to connect Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:8443. * The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments. * If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection. </code></pre> <p>If I comment out the lines I've added to my web.xml file, the webapp works fine. My log file in /var/lib/tomcat6/logs says nothing. I can't figure out if this is a problem with my keystore file, my server.xml file or my web.xml file.... Any assistance is appreciated</p> <p>I am using tomcat 6 on ubuntu.</p> <p>Edit: I changed my server.xml to</p> <pre><code>&lt;Connector port="8443" protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol" SSLEnabled="true" maxThreads="150" scheme="https" secure="true" clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" keystoreFile="/etc/tomcat6/keystore" keystorePass="tomcat" /&gt; </code></pre> <p>incase there was an issue with it being autoconfigured to "APR" as suggested by the tomcat tutorial (not sure if I have that or how to find out if I do). However I am still getting the same error.</p>
