Transferring a service from HTTP to HTTPS

posted by SpringSource on April 8, 2010 08:15 AM

Moving a running service from HTTP to HTTPS involves creating a certificate keystore and editing the Tomcat configuration file.

Taking a service from running on an HTTP protocol on port 8080 to run on the HTTPS protocol on port 443 requires you to have a private key and signed certificate in place in order for the HTTPS connector to work. You will need to prepare the certificate keystore, edit the Tomcat configuration file and install the certificate on the target machine.

Please refer to the following official Tomcat documentation in properly configure the HTTPS connector:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/ssl-howto.html.
