No I did not yet try this, but this is a good suggestion, I will see whether I can set up the certificate with Apache.

I switched the certificate intermediately back to the default one that comes with Glassfish, but as far as I remember this was before I posted this thread, so it would be very strange to get different issuers of the certificate...

I have a web-tier which is implemented with the Magnolia CMS, and a web application implemented with JSF. Because I will run the site in a memory-constrained environment (virtual server with 400 MB physical RAM) I'm leaving out anything unnecessary, including Apache. What you currently see is the Magnolia login dialog. Because I'm still building and testing the site I have protected it with a password.
