I use Tomcat 7 and will enable the SSL Connector. Actuall i have edit this solution to the server.xml file:
8443 port in Tomcat is by default used for SSL connection.
I suggest you see tomcat documentation for SSL:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/ssl-howto.html
There is one more link that I found which could resolve your issue in no time:
http://java.dzone.com/articles/setting-ssl-tomcat-5-minutes
This is an amazing article. Please go through to resolve the issue.
Hope this helps !
