Hi, I hope this is the right place to report an issue with Tomcat7 (published under Java project). Installation of 12.1 fresh from DVD is straightfoward, launch Firefox and use 1-Click install function to add Tomcat7 into repository, then start the service. It is painless and just work as expected. So I did test on http://localhost:8080, no issue then I move on enabling https by customizing server.xml, then use keytool to generate self-sign certs and restart tomcat7 service.
For your ref, this is the keytool command I used and server.xml config.

Once I connect https://localhost:8443, my browser status keeps “connecting” and never get any respond from website. When I check local netstat port, 8443 is listening.
tcp 1 0 :::8443 :::* LISTEN
I tried to install twice fresh from DVD, still end up with same issue. Any thoughts here?
Hmm, I am toying with Java SSL blocking and non-blocking config, both shows different result and I still can’t connect via 8443.

Does anyone have the simplest server.xml config using JSSE? What’s the default tomcat7 “package” downloaded from Opensuse come with? JSSE or APR?
As the instructions state, Tomcat usually uses APR, so you should use regular cert files instead of keystores. You just need to export the cert in the keystore and follow the instructions for APR.
is generated from OpenSSL (not keytool) so it is definitely PKCS12 format but it doesn’t work either. I just want to make sure my server.xml is correct, can you post yours for my reference?
I don’t actually have a Tomcat 7 server. I only looked at your problem out of curiosity about what I would have to do if a paying customer asked me to set a Tomcat 7 server up. Sorry to disappoint you about that amount of help I can offer.
I had the same problem so I don’t want to make a new topic. I downloaded Tomcat7 to may /opt folder. It run well with default cofig in HTTP. However when a change to HTTPS, I got them same error like above. I tried a lot of way. I also checked with netstat command. There is a service running in TCP 8443 and when I connect https://localhost:8443 it show “Connected to localhost” but nothing happen. It waiting forever…
Please help me because I don’t know what is the essential problem? OpenSUSE? my config(very similar above)? or Tomcat7?
It really make me confuse
Thanks!
Could you post the commands you used to generate certs, where you put
them, the path of the keystore (that’s how I setup HTTPS in Tomcat 7
recently, anyway), and your server.xml configuration for 8443?
That’s mean I put it a folder \home\bosua\caskey\ which named is casserver.keystore
And this is my server.xml
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

Um… what’s the the backslashes? If you really used those, then this
command almost certainly failed for a number of reasons. The environment
variable looks wrong (should be $JAVA_HOME) and the path with escaped
literal characters likely doesn’t exist. Thank-you for using Code tags
around things, though; that is a great practice.
Try this command to see if a keystore actually exists where you think it
does to list its contents:
> That’s mean I put it a folder \home\bosua\caskey\ which named is
> casserver.keystore
Again, the incorrect use of escapes/backslashes does not instill
confidence in the actions taken. Maybe it’s just a typo, but we need to
verify to avoid wild goose chases.
This is a little more complex because I’m using both a keystore (for SSL
certs including a private key) and a truststore (for things requiring a
truststore), so ignore the truststore part. What I see different is a
lack of keystoreAlias in my example, for whatever that’s worth (I’ve never
seen/used that before).
From the server try the following command to test the 8443 port:
Thanks for your looking and helping me!
The fisrt error is my faults when i copy my command. In fact, i had used as the same you talk.
I think the problem is can not using keytool to get cert on Opensuse. I will try openSSL. Thanks again!
