SSL for myCiteseerX

Begin by following the tutorial from Apache on how to create a keystore

Apache Tomcat SSL

After successfully creating the keystore you need to setup the HTTP connector which will listen for SSL connections. Edit the file TOMCAT_DIR/conf/server.xml

The connector should look similar to:

<Connector port="8443" minProcessors="5" maxProcessors="75"
        minSpareThreads="5" maxSpareThreads="75" maxThreads="200"
        enableLookups="true" disableUploadTimeout="true"
        SSLEnabled="true" keyAlias="tomcat"
        acceptCount="100" debug="0" scheme="https" secure="true"
        keystoreFile="/etc/ssl/keystore" keystorePass="changeit"
        clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS"/>
