There is definitely documentation available, listing below some of them

 

-  Trust & Encryption - Hands On

-  ThingWorx setup SSL / HTTPS on Tomcat with Self-Signed Certificate

-  Configuring ThingWorx / Tomcat for SSL using a Signed Certificate from a Certificate Authority (CA)

Above resources should help you get SSL enabled for Tomcat, it includes the step on how to setup the keystore which will be used by Tomcat. And my understanding is that you will need HTTPS enabled for Tomcat to make it a secure connection.

Hi @sarathi is  you Tomcat running ThingWorx configured with SSL? If so could you test by installing this certificate in the keystore used by the Tomcat ?
