Hello Gurus, We are using Tomcat to serve our User Base (we are not using Apache http Server but only Tomcat). We have recently enabled SSL in our Project and everything runs just fine. We raised the CSR using keytool, got the Certificates, So both of my below URLs work perfectly:
http://hostname:8080 https://hostname:8443 Framework Details: OS: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.9 (Tikanga) Tomcat Version: 7.x Port 8443 which was not coming in the netstat o/p, now comes: netstat -an | grep 8443 tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:8443 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN Here is how the server.xml looks like (excluding the ciphers list): =============================================================================================================== <Connector executor="tomcatThreadPool" port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1" connectionTimeout="20000" redirectPort="8443" /> <!-- Define a SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8443 This connector uses the JSSE configuration, when using APR, the connector should be using the OpenSSL style configuration described in the APR documentation --> <Connector port="8443" protocol="HTTP/1.1" SSLEnabled="true" maxThreads="150" scheme="https" secure="true" keystoreFile="/abc/xyz/XXXXXX.keystore" keystorePass="XXXXXX" clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" ciphers="XXXXX" /> ================================================================================================================= Now the requirement is that, we exclude the Port no. from the URL. Believe the only way out is to use Port 443 instead of 8443, so in the above configuration in the SSL section we just replace the port "8443" with Port "443" and give the redirectPort as "8443". However, it is not working out for us. We did a lot of investigation, surfing but could not find any solution. Also we confirmed that Port 443 is not blocked anywhere. Also "netstat -an" doesn't give any o/p for Port 443:Below is how our config looks like when we tried it out enabling 443 (excluding ciphers). ================================================================================================================== <Connector executor="tomcatThreadPool" port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1" connectionTimeout="20000" redirectPort="8443" /> <!-- Define a SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8443 This connector uses the JSSE configuration, when using APR, the connector should be using the OpenSSL style configuration described in the APR documentation --> <Connector executor="tomcatThreadPool" port="443" protocol="HTTP/1.1" SSLEnabled="true" maxThreads="150" scheme="https" secure="true" keystoreFile="/abc/xyz/XXXXXX.keystore" keystorePass="XXXXXX" clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" redirectPort="8443" ciphers="XXXXXXX" /> ================================================================================================================== Really appreciate your help and guidance towards resolving the issue. Many thanks in advance... Thanks and Regards,Varun Gulati+91-9665121901
