Hi Things went OK now. I can access apache on the secure port and using a real certificate. Now, I want to redirect to tomcat that is also on ssl. Tomcat has a self-signed and expired certificate. The redirection went OK without certificate warning. Now my question is: What’s the point of exporting the tomcat certificate : keytool -export -alias tomcat -rfc > tomcat.pem and do c_rehash /usr/local/apache/conf/ssl ? I just deleted the tomcat certificate and the linked file (generated by c_rehash) and the redirection went OK.
