Hi All,

I have a java keystore file abc.jks, which I want to deploy on Apache Tomcat server. When I accessed http://localhost:8080/manager it gives me option to deploy only WAR files.

Can anyone please help me out?

Thanks,
Ranjeet

That's something you would do on the OS level, not on the Tomcat level. Follow all the steps in http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/ssl-howto.html.

Hi Ulf Dittmer,

Apologies for abstract problem definition. Actually I don't want to make Tomcat or any connection from Tomcat to be ssl. I want to deploy a .jks file as a filesystem on tomcat so I can Access this .jks file using an URL to establish LDAP connection.

Thanks,
Ranjeet

I'm afraid that explanation made no sense to me at all.

A ".jks" file is a Java Keystore. Which is a totally encrypted database containing certificates and keys for things like Tomcat's SSL/TLS transport subsystem.

I found a secondary association ("Jedi Knight Backup"), but that's not what we expect you'll mean when you say "jks" in a Tomcat forum. In fact, I've never even heard of Jedi Knight Backup other than at the site where I double-checked ".jks" extensions.

So a java keystore isn't usable as a filesystem, because it requires jks-specific access mechanisms. And I have absolutely no idea where you're getting LDAP into that.
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
