CoreMedia Operations Basics, Version 7.5.45-10
4.2.5. Preparing Tomcat for HTTPS Connection | 4.2.5.2. Configuring Tomcat

In addition to the creation of a key for HTTPS communication some entries must be made in certain configuration files. <ServletContainerHome> stands here for the home directory of the servlet container. The Tomcat servlet container that is part of the CoreMedia Project deployment workspace already contains the following entries. If you use the deployment workspace, you can simply configure the required settings in the catalina.properties file in the tomcat-template module.

Entry in <TomcatHome>/conf/server.xml

In the file <ServletContainerHome>/conf/server.xml you must insert the following section after the already existing <Connector> elements:

<!-- Secure HTTP -->
<Connector port="8443" protocol="HTTP/1.1" SSLEnabled="true"
  maxThreads="150"   enableLookups="false" 
  disableUploadTimeout="true"  acceptCount="100" scheme="https"
  secure="true"  clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" 
  keystoreFile="/example/coremedia/.keystore" 
  keystorePass="changeit"/>

Adjust the entries port (port number with which the browser communicates), keystoreFile and keystorePass to your own settings. The key required for HTTPS communication is stored in the key store file generated in Section 4.2.5.1, “Creating a Key”. The path to the key store given there must match the path you entered in server.xml.
