Hello, thank you for the links, now I understand it a little better. The rest of my post was intended as a please-help-me-request, but I managed to solve the problem by myself. :)) So, interested readers can use it as a guideline for setting up SSL for a single Seam application on a JBoss Server. (Seam 2.0.0 and Jboss 4.2.0) Thanks a lot and have fun, Pete btw: the other non-https-application on the same server is still working. --------------------------- Enabled SSL in the file "server.xml" in my deploy-directory by uncommenting the following entry: <Connector port="8443" protocol="HTTP/1.1" SSLEnabled="true" maxThreads="150" | scheme="https" secure="true" clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" /> Added the following parameters to the above tag: keystoreFile="${jboss.server.home.dir}/conf/myapp.keystore" | keystorePass="topsecretpwd" Enabled SSL in the desired seam application by editing pages.xml: <page view-id="*" scheme="https"> ... Created a key with the keytool with the following command: keytool -keystore jboss-dir\server}default\conf\myapp.keystore -genkey -alias myalias -keypass mypassword I was prompted for the keystore-password, where I used the one from the server.xml (topsecretpwd) and I can see the key, when I list all keys with: keytool -keystore jboss-dir\server}default\conf\myapp.keystore -list | myalias, 02.04.2008, keyEntry, | Zertifikatsfingerabdruck (MD5): XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:04:E4:F7:8A:6A:FE View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4141136#...
