The first, and easiest, way to configure Tomcat to begin using your SSL Certificate is via Admintool.
If you would rather just alter the server.xml file, please skip to the next step.
To get started, start the Tomcat server first. Go to "http://localhost:8080/admin" and type a
username and password that have administrative rights on the Tomcat server. Choose "Service" on the
left menu and then click "Create New Connector" from the drop-down list on the right. Choose "HTTPS"
in the "Type" field and enter "443" for the SSL port. This is the default - only change this if you
are completely sure you need to change it.
Now you will need to enter the name of your keystore and its password. Sometimes the default values
will be exactly what you want, so you may be able use what has been pre-filled.
Click "Save" to save your new SSL Connector, and then click "Commit Changes". This will automatically
write the server.xml configuration file. Now, skip the next step and proceed to the
very last step on this page.
