Tomcat 7 SSL Failed

Question

I use Tomcat 7 and will enable the SSL Connector. Actuall i have edit this solution to the server.xml file:

<Connector    clientAuth="true" port="8443" minSpareThreads="5" maxSpareThreads="75"    enableLookups="true" disableUploadTimeout="true"    acceptCount="100" maxThreads="200"    scheme="https" secure="true" SSLEnabled="true"    keystoreFile="${catalina.home}/conf/server.jks"    keystoreType="JKS" keystorePass="password"    truststoreFile="${catalina.home}/conf/server.jks"    truststoreType="JKS" truststorePass="password"    SSLVerifyClient="require" SSLEngine="on" SSLVerifyDepth="2" sslProtocol="TLS" /> 

But i get this exception by startup the server.

Connector attribute SSLCertificateFile must be defined when using SSL with APR. Failed to initialize connector [Connector[HTTP/1.1-8443]]

I use a self created Keystore. Has anybody a good and easy Tutorial or a good idea?

Thanks

P.S. I post my actuall server.xml

Answer 1

comment out this line:

<Listener className="org.apache.catalina.core.AprLifecycleListener" SSLEngine="on" />  

Answer 2

You can not use a keystore if you are using the APR connector. It requires the same certificate formats as used by Apache.

EDIT: if you are running either Debian or Ubuntu on Linux you can use the ssl-cert package to generate a self-signed cert that would work with the APR connector as documented at http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/ssl-howto.html#Edit_the_Tomcat_Configuration_File (scroll down to the APR section).

EDIT: Try this as your server.xml file. I removed some of the comments and commented out the APR listener. Your keystore should work now.
