Enable SSL access over HTTPS with Tomcat

Before running the commands shown on this page, you should load the Bitnami stack environment by executing the installdir/use_APPNAME script (Linux and MacOS) or by clicking the shortcut in the Start Menu under “Start -> Bitnami APPNAME Stack -> Application console” (Windows). On OS X VMs, the installation directory is /opt/bitnami and OS X VM users can click the “Open Terminal” button to run commands. Learn more about the Bitnami stack environment and about OS X VMs.

You can configure Apache Tomcat to enable SSL access to applications using HTTPS. It is necessary to configure Tomcat with the location of the Apache SSL certificate, as described below.

  • Check that the certificate file is present at installdir/apache-tomcat/conf/ssl/tomcat.cert.pem and the certificate key file is present at installdir/apache-tomcat/conf/ssl/tomcat.key.pem.

  • Uncomment the following line in the installdir/apache-tomcat/conf/server.xml file:

    <Connector port="8443"
            protocol="HTTP/1.1" SSLEnabled="true"
            maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
            enableLookups="false" disableUploadTimeout="true"
            acceptCount="100" scheme="https" secure="true"
            clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS"
            keystoreFile="conf/myKeystore"
            keystorePass="your_password"
            SSLCertificateFile="installdir/apache-tomcat/conf/ssl/tomcat.cert.pem"
            SSLCertificateKeyFile="installdir/apache-tomcat/conf/ssl/tomcat.key.pem"/>

  • Restart the Apache Tomcat server

You should now be able to access your Web applications over HTTPS by browsing to https://localhost:8443.
