You must have a valid certificate available in order to enable Secure Socket Layer (SSL).

Edit the <Install Directory>/apache-tomcat-[version]/conf/server.xml file in the following ways.

Comment out the following xml block to disable the standard http access:

<Connector port="8080" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
     maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
     enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100"
     connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true" />

Uncomment the following xml block to enable https access and add the attributes:

<Connector port="8443" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
    maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
    enableLookups="false" disableUploadTimeout="true"
    acceptCount="100" scheme="https" secure="true"
    keystoreFile="<path to certificate>" and keystorePass="<password>"
    clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" />
