You'll need to decide on what route you want to take first.  You can either try to run Confluence's Tomcat with SSL, or take the recommended route of setting up a simple reverse proxy that handles all the SSL stuff.  (There are other routes, but these are more than a little unusual, and I'm only really familiar with the 97% of cases that go with a proxy).

Do you have a preference?  If so, and it's a proxy, which web server would you choose as the proxy?  (Nginx, Apache, Lighttpd etc)

Run on application server:

openssl genrsa -out confKey.key 2048 -sha256

openssl req -new -key confKey.key -out confReq.csr

Send confReq.csr to CA

Take caReply.cer to server

openssl pkcs12 -export -out key.pfx -inkey confKey.key -in caReply.cer

keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore key.pfx -srcstoretype pkcs12 -destkeystore myKey.jks -deststoretype JKS

On server.xml file:

Restart confluence

Change base url
