configuring SSL with JBoss 2.4.6/TC4.03

[mozkill]

Hello,

I am having trouble configuring SSL with this version of Tomcat. I add the following entry to my server.xml file in my catalina conf directory and if i run catalina standalone it works but when i run with JBoss i get a "page cannot be displayed" error :

<!-- Define an SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8443 -->




I am accessing with the url: https://localhost:8443/

I am obviously missing a configuration step of some kind that links JBoss with this Tomcat SSL port... I tried this method also ( http://www.catgen.com/developer/manual/ssl.html#installing_ssl ) and it didn't seem to help.

sorry for buggin you guys ... :-)

i found the answer, and here it is:

Configure SSL in JBoss



For JBoss 2.4.6, using JDK 1.2 or higher is ok. With JBoss 3.0 and later, you will need JDK 1.4 for JAAS and LOG4J support.



Generate a key using the keytool.exe that comes with JDK. This part is pretty easy. The alias should be "tomcat".



keytool -genkey -keyalg RSA -keystore mykeys.store -alias tomcat



After generating the mykeys.store file, place it in the C:\ for this example. It can actually be placed wherever you want as long as you edit the connector (below) to point to it.



NOTE: when starting JBoss, the gateway will not autostart within JBoss unless the ear is also within the deploy directory.





JBoss 2.4.6 / Tomcat 4.0.3



Edit the C:\icjis\jboss\conf\catalina\jboss.jcml file and verify that you have the following entry and then restart.



<!-- The embedded Tomcat-4.x(Catalina) service configuration -->

























<!-- Define a non-SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 80 (verify port 80 is free before enabled -->

<!--





-->



<!-- Define an SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 443 -->









<!-- Define an AJP 1.3 Connector on port 8009 -->





















Jboss 3.07 / Tomcat 4.1.24



For this version of JBoss you do not have a jboss.jcml file. Instead, you need to find the tomcat41-service.xml within the C:\jboss\server\default\deploy directory and verify the following entry exists and then restart the server.





&catalina.home;

instant <!-- you may switch to "interval" -->

2000















<!-- Access logger -->



<!-- Default context parameters -->









<!-- Define a non-SSL Coyote HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 80 -->

<!--



-->











<!-- An AJP 1.3 Connector on port 8009. Used by Apache mod_jk for example -->















Note: you may need to remove the existing log4j.jar from the Thinkstream jars classpath if it conflicts with the log4j.jar that comes with JBoss.
