      It is possible to configure the web ssl connector to use the Windows certificate keystore (access provided by the SunMSCAPI provider). However, the JSSESocketFactory checks for a keystore file. This check should likely be skipped when the connector is configured to use the Windows keystore.

      Here is what the configuration looks like:

      <connector name="https" protocol="HTTP/1.1" scheme="https" socket-binding="https" secure="true">
      				 <ssl name="https" 
      					key-alias="jbossweb" 
      					keystore-type="Windows-MY"
      					protocol="TLSv1"
      			</connector>
      

      This results in an error like this:
      13:54:01,821 ERROR [org.apache.coyote.http11] (MSC service thread 1-5) JBWEB003043: Error initializing endpoint: java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Users\imauser\.keystore (The system cannot find the file specified)

      You can work around this issue by creating this keystore (C:\Users\imauser\.keystore).
