To configure a secure (SSL) HTTP connector for Tomcat, verify that it is activated in the $tomcat_home/conf/server.xml file (the standard version of this file, as shipped with Tomcat, contains a simple example that is commented out by default).
Syntax for Tomcat 3.3:
<Http10Connector
port="8443"
secure="true"
keystore="/usr/java/jre/lib/security/cacerts"
clientAuth="false" />
