How can I test if Tomcat has SSL support enabled?

Question

I have a problem: I'm configuring a Tomcat server to serve a webservice through HTTPS, and it isn't working.

If I go to the 38080 port, the service is working perfectly, but if I go to the 8443 port (using the https prefix), the browser shows me an error message (The page can't be shown).

The server is a Windows 2008 R2, Tomcat is 6.0.35 and Java is 1.6.0_29.

The SSL content of the server.xml file is:

<Connector port="8443" SSLEnabled="true" protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol"
           maxThreads="150" scheme="https" secure="true" keyAlias="server" 
           keystoreFile="${catalina.base}\conf\test-keystore.jks" 
           keypass="patata"
           clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" />

The file test-keystore.jks is a self-generated keystore, based on the documentation at https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/ssl-howto.html. The order used was: keytool -genkey -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA -keystore test-keystore.jks.

Anyone knows what I'm doing wrong, and how to solve this problem?

MORE INFORMATION The logs doesn't show any error. Neither stdout or the ${catalina.base}/logs/manager-{date}.log or the ${catalina.base}/logs/localhost-{date}.log

@ScaryWombat maybe Tomcat is a java based server, for running web java applications? — mHouses, Mar 24 '15 at 08:15
@Kayaman It's a good idea, but the logs doesn't show any error... And I've changed the loglevel to FINE :/ — mHouses, Mar 24 '15 at 08:42

FIXED!

The problem was with the configuration. The keyAlias parameter is incorrect, it should be keyAlias="tomcat" and not keyAlias="server".
