How to enable SSL on JBoss 4.2

I am going to explain how to enable JBoss to accept SSL connection and also how to make JBoss to connect to a database which only accepts SSL connections.


I am using JBoss-eap-4.2 and Postgres8.1


My Postgres is configured to accept on SSL connections.


Firstly, lets enable ssl for jboss.


JBoss uses JSEE, the Java Secure Socket Extension (JSSE), for SSL. To start we need a public key/private key pair in the form of an X509 certificate for use by the SSL server sockets. Let us create a self-signed certificate using the JDK keytool. It was created using the following command and input:


keytool -genkey -keystore “NAME_OF_YOUR_KEYSTORE” -storepass “STOREPASS _OF_YOUR_KEYSTORE” –keypass “KEYPASS_OF_YOUR_KEYSTORE” -keyalg RSA -alias “ALIAS_OF_YOUR_KEYSTORE” -validity 3650 -dname

“cn=myKeystore,ou=jboss admin,dc=jboss,dc=org”


“NAME_OF_YOUR_KEYSTORE” = myKeystore.keystore


“NAME_OF_YOUR_KEYSTORE” = myKeystore


“STOREPASS_OF_YOUR_KEYSTORE” = rmi+ssl


“KEYPASS_OF_YOUR_KEYSTORE” = rmi+ssl


Finally it is :


keytool -genkey -keystore myKeystore.keystore -storepass rmi+ssl –keypass rmi+ssl -keyalg RSA -alias myKeystore -validity 3650 -dname”cn=myKeystore,ou=jboss admin,dc=jboss,dc=org”


You can view your keyStore file if you want to using this command


keytool -list -v –keystore myKeystore.keystore


Then copy the keystore file in the conf directory of ur jboss configuration.


jboss-eap-4.2\jboss-as\server\default\conf


in your case it could be


jboss4.x\server\default\conf


Now open the server.xml file in your conf directory :


jboss-eap-4.2\jboss-as\server\default\deploy\jboss-web.deployer


in your case it could be


jboss4.x\server\default\deploy\jboss-web.deployer


uncomment this block






–>


And add these things





And it is done. Now start the jboss and type the url


https://ipaddress:8443 or https://localhost:8443


and its done.


If you don’t want to access your jboss server via 8080 port then you need to disable the connector 8080 in the server.xml file located at
