Bug #39198	Dashboard does not support https

Version:	2.0.0.7042	OS:	Any
Assigned to:	MC Brown	CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
You cannot use https to connect to the dashboard.

When accessing this url
https://127.0.0.1:18080/

you get this error "The connection was interrupted"

How to repeat:
1- Install the monitor and start it
2- Go to https://127.0.0.1:18080/

and you will see the error

notes:

Using wget you get:

--2008-09-02 15:13:18--  https://127.0.0.1:18080/
Connecting to 127.0.0.1:18080... connected.
Unable to establish SSL connection.

Using https://127.0.0.1:18443/   (note different port number) does not fix the problem. The page just takes longer to load.

Same as 

http://127.0.0.1:18443/ (no https) (just in case)

Hi. Can we get the tomcat in our stack to have SSL support out of the box? We won't configure the webapp to require redirection at this point in time, because our agents don't yet work with SSL, however we'd like customers to have the option to use SSL.

This will require us to ship with a self-signed cert, along with a keystore that is pointed to in server.xml. If you need more information from us on the self-signed certificate contents, or anything else, contact Andy.

I've tested this using the tomcat-6.0 "ssl" documentation instructions, and once a self-signed cert is installed in a keystore, and the SSL connector is uncommented, it works as expected.

Thanks!
