How can I enable SSL on JBoss 5 on a Linux (Red Hat - Fedora 8) box?

What I've done so far is:

(1) Create a test keystore.

(2) Placed the newly generated server.keystore in $JBOSS_HOME/server/default/conf

(3) Make the following change in the server.xml in $JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy/jbossweb.sar to include this:

<!-- SSL/TLS Connector configuration using the admin devl guide keystore -->
  <Connector protocol="HTTP/1.1" SSLEnabled="true"
       port="8443" address="${jboss.bind.address}"
       scheme="https" secure="true" clientAuth="false"
       keystoreFile="${jboss.server.home.dir}/conf/server.keystore"
       keystorePass="mypassword" sslProtocol = "TLS" />

(4) The problem is that when JBoss starts it logs this exception (during start-up) (but I am still able to view everything under http://localhost:8080/):

03:59:54,780 ERROR [Http11Protocol] Error initializing endpoint

java.io.IOException: Cannot recover key at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.jsse.JSSESocketFactory.init(JSSESocketFactory.java:456) at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.jsse.JSSESocketFactory.createSocket(JSSESocketFactory.java:139) at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.JIoEndpoint.init(JIoEndpoint.java:498) at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol.init(Http11Protocol.java:175) at org.apache.catalina.connector.Connector.initialize(Connector.java:1029) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardService.initialize(StandardService.java:683) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardServer.initialize(StandardServer.java:821) at org.jboss.web.tomcat.service.deployers.TomcatService.startService(TomcatService.java:313)

I do know that's there's more to be done to enable full SSL client authentication....
