### 5.1.3. Tomcat & SSL

To get Tomcat up quickly on an SSL port you can add an entry similar to the following in `$TOMCAT_HOME/conf/server.xml`.

    <Connector port="443" protocol="HTTP/1.1" SSLEnabled="true"
        maxThreads="150" scheme="https" secure="true"
        address="10.0.1.6"
        clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" keystorePass="11111111"/>

You must also have to make sure you have create a key store along with a self-signed certificate. You can do that with the following UNIX command:

    $ keytool -genkey -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA
