Tomcat 9 APR Connector and SSL

Question

I have installed Tomcat on a Centos7 machine. The tomcat on this machine is accessible from users connected to the company vpn.

http:10.xx.xx.xx:8080 works fine but when we tried to secure the connection and use an SSL using the APR Connector that does not work.

To generate my certificates I followed these steps :

Generate a private key for the CA:

$ openssl genrsa 2048 > ca-key.pem

Generate the X509 certificate for the CA:

$ openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -days 365000 \
   -key ca-key.pem \
   -out ca-cert.pem

Creating the Server's Certificate and Keys Generate the private key and certificate request:

$ openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -days 365000 \
   -keyout server-key.pem \
   -out server-req.pem

Generate the X509 certificate for the server:

$ openssl x509 -req -days 365000 -set_serial 01 \
   -in server-req.pem \
   -out server-cert.pem \
   -CA ca-cert.pem \
   -CAkey ca-key.pem

Verifying the Certificates :

$ openssl verify -CAfile ca-cert.pem    ca-cert.pem    server-cert.pem
>ca-cert.pem: OK
>server-cert.pem: OK

my server.xml configuration :

<Connector port="8443" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
                 maxThreads="150"
                 enableLookups="false" disableUploadTimeout="true"
                 acceptCount="100" scheme="https" secure="true"
                 SSLEnabled="true"
                 SSLCertificateFile="/opt/tomcat/cert/server-cert.pem"
                 SSLCertificateKeyFile="/opt/tomcat/cert/server-key.pem" />

the log file says that every thing went OK :

07-Apr-2022 17:27:57.028 INFO [main] org.apache.coyote.AbstractProtocol.start Starting ProtocolHandler ["http-apr-8080"]
07-Apr-2022 17:27:57.055 INFO [main] org.apache.coyote.AbstractProtocol.start Starting ProtocolHandler ["https-openssl-apr-8443"]

I tried to use the JSSE connector but same thing. Http works fine but not the HTTPS.

Testing with elinks locally :

but telnet says that network is ok and it cann connect to the server on the port 8443.
