SSL on JBoss AS7.1.1Final

[slowdive]

I am trying to configure SSL for my JBoss server. I'm starting small - just want to be able to view the JBoss splash screen. I have added the following to standalone.xml:

        <subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:web:1.1" default-virtual-server="default-host" native="false">
            <connector name="http" protocol="HTTP/1.1" scheme="http" socket-binding="http"/>
            <connector name="https" protocol="HTTP/1.1" scheme="https" socket-binding="https" secure="true">
                <ssl/>
            </connector>
            <virtual-server name="default-host" enable-welcome-root="true">
                <alias name="localhost"/>
                <alias name="example.com"/>
            </virtual-server>
        </subsystem>

Whenever I try to access https://localhost:8443, I get "Unable to connect". What am I missing?

Hi,

You have placed <ssl/>  inside your connector where as there you are supposed to pass the keystore related infrmations... Try this:

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:web:1.1" default-virtual-server="default-host" native="false">
    <connector name="http" protocol="HTTP/1.1" scheme="http" socket-binding="http"/>

    <connector name="https" protocol="HTTP/1.1" scheme="https" socket-binding="https" secure="true">
        <ssl name="ssl"
             key-alias="chapter8"
             password="rmi+ssl"
             certificate-key-file="${jboss.server.config.dir}/chap8.keystore"
             protocol="TLSv1"
             verify-client="false"
             certificate-file="${jboss.server.config.dir}/chap8.keystore"/>
    </connector>

    <virtual-server name="default-host" enable-welcome-root="true">
        <alias name="localhost"/>
        <alias name="example.com"/>
    </virtual-server>
</subsystem>

Thanks Jay! I added the information for my keystore, and when I boot up, I get "Invalid Keystore Format". Is there any way I can specify the keystore type (PKCS12) and the provider? I didn't see that information here: http://docs.jboss.org/jbossweb/7.0.x/config/ssl.html

Added keystore-type="PKCS12", and that resolved it.
