How to remotely deploy a secure websocket service on Tomcat10 through Maven

Question

I have burned myself trying to set up a secure WebSocket service using my remote Tomcat10 server but without any success. I keep on getting from Postman "Unexpected server response: 404" after hitting "wss://mydomain.org:4123/ws". I attach the most important settings in case someone could hopefully spot what I am doing wrong.

I would like to mention that I am deploying with Maven the project from 127.0.0.1 via a Tunnel.

server.xml

...
<Service name="Catalina">
<Connector executor="tomcatThreadPool"
           port="5123"
           compression="off"
           protocol="HTTP/1.1"
           connectionTimeout="20000"
           />

<Connector port="4123"
           protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol"
           maxThreads="100"
           compression="off"
           connectionTimeout="20000"
           SSLEnabled="true"
           scheme="https"
           secure="true">

  <SSLHostConfig >
    <Certificate  certificateFile="path/to/certificateFile"
                  certificateKeyFile="path/to/certificateKeyFile"
                  certificateChainFile="path/to/certificateChainFile" />
  </SSLHostConfig>
</Connector>

<Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="localhost">

  <Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true">
...
  </Host>
</Engine>
