Finally found appropriate solution for Geoserver https configuration Here are the steps to enable jetty to run geoserver on https, port:8443
• *Configuring Jetty for SSL* /Generating Keys and Certificates with JDK’s keytool/ 1. Use keytool to generate key pairs and certificates. /keytool.exe/ is available in installed jdk’s folder, ex: C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_201\bin. 2. Open command prompt and go to the directory where/ keytool.exe/ is present. 3. Run following command for creating keystore: */keytool -keystore keystore -alias jetty -genkey -keyalg RSA/* 4. Provide basic details after executing above command like name, country, and keystore password. Note down the entered password since it will be used while replacing the existing keystore in geoserver folder with the new one. 5. Now open /jetty-ssl.xml/ file present in etc folder and replace the KeyStorePassword, KeyManagerPassword, TrustStorePassword with the new password which is created while creating keystore. 6. Open & check /jetty.xml/ file in same folder, on which port https will run. • *Add new Keystore in Geoserver* 7. Copy the created keystore file and replace with the existing available in etc folder of geoserver ex: C:\GeoServer\etc. 8. Now check if ssl.mod file is present in modules folder or not, ex: C:\GeoServer\modules. 9. If present, then open the file and replace the password in jetty.keystore.password, jetty.keymanager.password and jetty.truststore.password with the new password. Otherwise download it from http://central.maven.org/maven2/org/eclipse/jetty/jetty-distribution/9.2.13.v20150730/jetty-distribution-9.2.13.v20150730.tar.gz. *NOTE* : Please make sure password entered should be same as in jetty-ssl.xml. 10. Open start.ini file present in C:\GeoServer folder add /--module =ssl, --module=https and jetty.secure.port=8443/ (if https is running on Port 8443. 11. Run geoserver, enter url https://localhost:8443/geoserver (assuming geoserver on local system). -- Sent from: http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/GeoServer-User-f3786390.html _______________________________________________ Geoserver-users mailing list Please make sure you read the following two resources before posting to this list: - Earning your support instead of buying it, but Ian Turton: http://www.ianturton.com/talks/foss4g.html#/ - The GeoServer user list posting guidelines: http://geoserver.org/comm/userlist-guidelines.html If you want to request a feature or an improvement, also see this: https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/wiki/Successfully-requesting-and-integrating-new-features-and-improvements-in-GeoServer Geoserver-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/geoserver-users
