SSL ya Tomcat

Steps to enable SSL for your tomcat

1. Generate SSL key for your computer.

$JAVA_HOME/bin/keytool -genkey -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA -keystore /path/to/my/keystore

Reminder: check ../tomcat/conf/tomcat-user.xml for tomcat user’s password

2. Edit server.xml
– Open ../tomcat/conf/server.xml
– Uncomment following lines and add in “keystoreFile” and “keystorePass”

 <Connector port="8443" protocol="HTTP/1.1" SSLEnabled="true"
               maxThreads="150" scheme="https" secure="true"
               keystoreFile="/path/to/my/keystore" keystorePass="password"
               clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" />

3. You are DONE. You can try to access HTTPS with Port 8443 now.
Eg: https://www.example.com/SecretResource/1234567
