Tomcat SSL Problem

Hi All , i configured tomcat to use SSL by the tomcat documentation steps

1 - Generated the the certificated using the command

keytool -genkey -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA

with the password changeit

2 -Uncomment the "SSL HTTP/1.1" in the server.xml file

i then opened the browser and accessed the tomcat http://localhost:8443 and i get a strange response , which is squares ( a bad encoding maybe )

i didnt get any exceptions from the standard or the log

is there any furthor steps that i need to make or any suggestions

Thanks in Advance

You must access it using https://localhost:8443

I have the same issue. Just to confirm, once SSL is implemented on Tomcat, one can not use http://domainname.com instead need to use https://domainname.com. Is this true?Thanks in Advance.

No, you should still be able to access http://domainname.com, it's just that you cannot connect to the secure port using http, you must use https then.
