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 Mac OS X) or by clicking the shortcut in the Start Menu under “Start -> Bitnami APPNAME Stack -> Application console” (Windows). Learn more.

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.
