Special thanks to Remy for adding an example connector to the APR doc... I saw the change go through the dev list last night ;)
Dhaval and Remy, between your two emails, I was actually able to get Tomcat 5.5.12 to use SSL, however there is one last problem I am running into... Dhaval, you created your PEM encoded key/certs using openssl and if you followed the article linked, you used the "openssl rsa" command. Using this I was able to get it to work just fine. I got super pumped and so I switched my Connector to point to the cert/key that I had exported from my PKCS12 keystore yesterda and it still didn't work correctly. After reading up on Private keys a bit more, it looks like the PEM encoding used by the "openssl rsa" command is in an older format (RSA) than the version my private key is being stored in. The key/cert I am using has the key in PKCS#8 format and not the antiquated SSLeay format. Output by the "openssl rsa" command as noted from the OpenSSL rsa(1) command page: "Note this command uses the traditional SSLeay compatible format for private key encryption: newer applications should use the more secure PKCS#8 format using the pkcs8 utility." Taken from the OpenSSL rsa command documenation located here: http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/rsa.html If not, there might be an issue with the APR connector using PKCS#8 formatted private keys. Maybe I need to set up something differently in the connector when using the PKCS#8 private key format? After much deliberation, I found an issue with mod_ssl used in the APR. Evidently it doesn't support the PKCS#8 private key format. So you need to take it and convert it to the RSA format. Here is a nice article on how to convert your PKCS#8 private key extracted from your PKCS#12 keystore formatted in the non-encrypted, RSA, PEM format that OpenSSL expects: http://mark.foster.cc/kb/openssl-keytool.html The parts of the article that you should concern yourself about are: "The private key is being exported as PKCS#8 PEM format. To get it into the RSA format that works with Apache (see below) you can issue the following command:" openssl pkcs8 -inform PEM -nocrypt -in exported-pkcs8.key -out exported.key And "In summary, I had to re-encode the Java-base64-encoded private key using openssl to make it palatable to Apache:" openssl rsa -in privkey-java.key -out privkey.key I used Keystore Explorer 2.3 to extract the signed certificate and private key out of the PKCS#12. http://www.lazgosoftware.com/kse/ (free trial, $30 to buy. If you use java keystores/certificates a lot, totally worth it imo) I am still working on getting my certificate working 100% correctly but this information should help you guys out a lot if you are stuck with a PKCS#12 file. It won't be long now... -rOcK -----Original Message----- From: Dhaval Patel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 01, 2005 8:49 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: SSL InvalidKeystore Format? Hi Scott, I am not tomcat expert as well as I can not help you about the error you are getting. After Remy's last message on SSL with APR, I finally got my windows xp + tomcat 5.5.12 + APR + SSL working. Following are the steps that I have followed: (1) Install Tomcat 5.5.12 and make sure it is working. (2) Download APR component (openssl.exe and tcnative-1.dll) and put it in %TOMCAT_HOME%\bin. (http://tomcat.heanet.ie/native/1.1.0/binaries/win32/) (3) I generated server.key and server.cert following guide at http://www.fatofthelan.com/articles/articles.php?pid=12 .I have put them in %TOMCAT_HOME%\bin only. (Make sure you follow the guide. I had trouble setting openssl.exe on windows xp. The answer is on that page only. You have to download openssl.cnf from google and place it in some folder and make a new environment OPENSSL_CONF pointing to that file. Trust me that link is very good.) (4) Change the server.xml in following way: <Connector port="443" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75" enableLookups="false" disableUploadTimeout="true" scheme="https" secure="true" SSLEngine="on" SSLCertificateFile="C:\Tomcat5.5\bin\server.crt" SSLCertificateKeyFile="C:\Tomcat5.5\bin\server.key" /> (5) Restart the tomcat and SSL is enabled. I dont know if you have did the same way and you have issues. If you want to try, you can follow the above steps on some other windows xp machine. It worked for me so it should work for you. If you start from scratch, it may take about 30-40 mins to setup above things. Let me know how it goes.
