Quickly create and implement a self signed cert for Tomcat...

Create keystore with a self signed cert

keytool -genkey -keystore /path/keystore.jks -alias selfsigned -keyalg RSA -keysize 4096 -validity 720
Enter details for cert and enter password = password123

Update Tomcat server.xml

Verify

https://192.168.1.10:8443/ Should return this:
Bad Request
This combination of host and port requires TLS.
https://192.168.1.10:8443/ Returns: Warning that cert is not signed by an authority. But HTTPS is used
