Stuck trying to cofigure SSL

There are few things you can try

1. When a user started tomcat, it looks for the .keystore file in the
users home directory, make sure you are the owner of tomcat process. Sorry
I do not know how to check this in Windows environment.

2. You can specify the keystone file in Connector 8443 by
keystoreFile="your file" and keystorePass="password" in tomcat server.xml
file

3. Please look at logs in ${catalina.home}/logs, it will tell you exact
where the problem is, at least google the error message generally will
give you pretty good answer on how to fix it
