Problem:

After Spotfire Server is configured to use HTTPS protocol, secure connection fails in a web browser and HTTPS handler fails to start with the following error in catalina.log file:

22-Nov-2019 20:47:50.522 SEVERE [main] org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleBase.handleSubClassException Failed to initialize component [Connector[HTTP/1.1-443]]


Solution:

The full error in [SpotfireServer-Home]\tomcat\logs\catalina.log file should look similar to this:

22-Nov-2019 20:47:50.162 INFO [main] org.apache.coyote.AbstractProtocol.init Initializing ProtocolHandler ["https-jsse-nio-443"]

Resolution Summary:

Make sure that this step from HTTPS configuration instructions is completed:

9. Unless you will enable X.509 client certificate authentication, remove the truststoreFile, truststorePass, and truststoreType parameters.
