The only task of the CA should be the proper signature of the public key of your system. On the other hand: There is already a key pair installed - so no new one needs to be created, which is good from the IT security point of view as you should avoid creating a key pair on another system: Even a certification authority (CA should never get in touch with the private key. Beyond that the certificate validity must be within the time range specified in the certificate and this is by default only a one year period. The custo diagnostic client expects both. However neither the common name stored in the certificate probably matches with the client name nor the trust to this certificate is given. This already permits an encrypted HTTPs connection with the IP port defined in the installation program. In order to verify that the connection is secured, we will use the TCP/IP Monitor view in Eclipse to display the content of messages sent and received between the client (browser) and server.By default the installation of the custo diagnostic server in Windows already creates a key pair with a self-signed certificate. If we check our configuration by access to application deployed on tomcat server (for example: Advanced tests GRAVE: Erreur � l'initialisation du point de contactĪt .(JSSESocketFactory.java:427)Īt .(JSSESocketFactory.java:125)Īt .(JIoEndpoint.java:496) So, set the key and keystore to the same password.ġ5 juil. Note: If the Tomcat starts with the below error, it’s because in Tomcat, the private key password and keystore password should be the same. INFO: D�marrage de Coyote HTTP/1.1 sur http-8443 INFO: D�marrage de Coyote HTTP/1.1 sur http-8080 INFO: Initialisation de Coyote HTTP/1.1 sur http-8443ġ5 juil. INFO: Initialisation de Coyote HTTP/1.1 sur http-8080ġ5 juil. …don’t modify the connector because, per default, the 8080 port is redirected to the 8443 port:ġ5 juil. Tomcat Server Configuration : configuration of SSL and testsĪctivate the following connector in the file “server.xml” of “conf” folder, to use the https protocol targeting the “C:\MyFiles\Development\Java\tools\sslcertificats” keystore with the password filled above “”: ( keystore=”C:\MyFiles\Development\Java\tools\myKeyStore.ks” keystorePass=”123456″): Then, you could find the newly installed certificate: In this last screenshot, you could observe that the certificate has not been trusted by a certification authority (CA) (we have generated a self-signed certificate).Īfter certificate installation on client side, it is visible in the certificates manager. To install the certificate on client PC and view the détails of certificate : double click on HUO.cer file Important point : the certificate trusted by a certification authority (CA) doesn’t need to be installed on client side, because the most of these certificates have a root certificate which is already installed on user PC (example : UNIPASS). In the case of this article, it is not necessary, however, the installation will not have any impacts. Here, it is possible to export a “*.cer” file in order to install directly the certificate for example on client computer/PC. This is a restriction of the Tomcat implementation. See the official documentation : You MUST use the same password here as was used for the keystore password itself. In Tomcat, the private key password and keystore password should be the same. …finally, save the KeyStore on the local disk with a specific password 123456. …and double-click on the certificate to display its détails: …it is necessary to fill in an alias and a password for the certificate in the KeyStore (here huo and 123456): …and the détails of our certificate will be: …the Key Algorithm will be RAS and with a Key Size of 2048: The KeyStore contains the keys/certificates:Ĭreation of a new certificate (or Key Pair) in the previous created KeyStore: Then, execute the portecle.jar file with the Java Platform SE binary: but there are other tools like PorteCle.įirst, download portecle-1.7.zip from and unzip it. Keytool.exe -genkey -dname "cn=, ou=JAVA/LU, o=Blog, c=LU" When creating the certificate (in the keystore on server side), it’s possible to precise if the certificate is dedicated to be diffused (classic case) or not be diffused.įor example, the generation of certificate is possible via the keytool: After my first post concerning the SSL : self-signed certification generation and the installation on Tomcat server, I would expose a new tool PorteCle allowing the generation of KeyStore, self-signed certificate instead of Keytool supported in the JDK / JRE 1.5.ĭuring the navigation of a secured website, the installation of the certificate on the client poste doesn’t asked explicitly because the certificate has been certified by a certification authority (CA).
