Symptoms

After upgrading from Confluence 2.9.2 or before to Confluence 2.10 or later, or from Tomcat 5.5 to Tomcat 6.0, SSL does not work.

Cause

Apache Tomcat version 6.0.0 or later requires the parameter-value pair SSLEnabled="true" in the Connector tag.

Resolution

Add the parameter SSLEnabled="true" to the ssl tag in server.xml.

Refer to Running Confluence Over SSL or HTTPS for further information.
