I am following the workshop about extensions 4.x https://jazz.net/library/article/1000 but when I reach the step 1.6 Test the Jetty Based Server Launch __27. Connect with your browser. I get an error trying to connect to https://localhost:7443/jazz/admin

RTC is version 4.0.7 and on the one hand the error is thrown only when I try to access via web. By the other hand I can create a connection correctly to Jetty in the Eclipse client.

I have used it with all 4.x versions, except 4.0.7 so far and I have not seen this kind of error. I have seen issues with connecting, sometimes something blocks the entire port, however, what you describe does not seem to fall into that category.

Have you tried a different browser?

Now that you said these, I just test it on Chrome 39, Firefox 34 and IE 8 and it only works on IE.
I remember I did this Workshop with RTC 4.0.5 and it worked on every browser.

You may have to enable SSL debugging to find out what's going on. In the Jetty launch file, add the following line to enable SSL handshake debugging.

<listEntry value="-Djavax.net.debug=ssl:handshake:verbose"/>
Or
<listEntry value="-Djavax.net.debug=all:handshake:verbose"/>
if you want to debug all handshakes.

 I fixed this problem in Chrome following this answear: http://superuser.com/a/876294 I believe that something simillar is happening in FF

Chrome probably blocks SSLv3 as too old/vulnerable. So perhaps use only locally for testing.

It worked for me and still works with all browsers. However, since there have been some SSL bugs recently, maybe your company or you changed the SSL protocol versions supported to one that is not yet supported with CLM? Just a guess.

I did nothing special. I am working with a Virtual Machine where I have installed RTC following the Workshop's steps. Then I have installed Chrome and Firefox from official sites. Nothing else.

I realized, that VMWARE uses one of the ports used by the workshop. Can you check that?
