Symptoms

After upgrading from JIRA 4.0.2 or before to JIRA 4.1 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 above to the ssl tag in server.xml. Refer to Running JIRA over SSL or HTTPS for further information.
