Tomcat 8.5 Ssl

It's been almost 12 years I started using Apache Tomcat. I believe when I did my 1st under grade project, it was on Tomcat version 1.x. Now it's already on version 8.0. Mostly I've been in touch with Tomcat Server in my daily work life, simply can't live without it. On Crunchify we have already published almost 40 articles on Apache Tomcat. To install and configure SSL support on Tomcat 5, you need to follow these simple steps. For more information, read the rest of this HOW-TO. Create a keystore file to store the server's private key and self-signed certificate by executing the following command: Windows.

Use Java's Keytool to create a CSR and install your SSL/TLS certificate on your Tomcat (or other Java-based) server

Mar 30, 2021 Using name-based virtual hosts on a secured connection requires careful configuration of the names specified in a single certificate or Tomcat 8.5 onwards where Server Name Indication (SNI) support is available. SNI allows multiple certificates with different names to be associated with a single TLS connector. Purpose: SSL/TLS Certificate Installation GuideFor Tomcat Version 8.5+Skip to InstallationNeed Certificate Signing Request (CSR) help? Tomcat uses Keytool to create a CSR. You can use our Keytool CSR command Builder here to help you get started.For help using the Keytool CSR command Builder read this article here.After you have obtained the command to use to create the CSR from the command. This allows Tomcat 8.5 to use the newer Checkstyle releases while still building with Java 7.

Use these instructions to generate your certificate signing request (CSR) and install your SSL/TLS certificate on your Tomcat server using Java's Keytool.

Restart Note: After you've installed your SSL/TLS certificate and configured the server to use it, you must restart the Tomcat service.

1. To create your certificate signing request (CSR), see Tomcat Server: Create Your CSR with Java Keytool.

2. To install your SSL certificate, see Tomcat Server: Install and Configure Your SSL/TLS Certificate.

To view these instructions in Spanish, see CSR para Tomcat and Tomcat Instalar Certificado SSL.

If you are looking for a simpler way to create CSRs, and install and manage your SSL/TLS certificates, we recommend using the DigiCert^® Certificate Utility for Windows. You can use the DigiCert Utility to generate your CSR and prepare your SSL/TLS certificate file for installation on your Tomcat server. See Tomcat: Create CSR & Install SSL/TLS Certificate with the DigiCert Utility.

I. Tomcat Server: Create Your CSR with Java's Keytool

Use the instructions in this section to create a new keystore (.jks) file and to generate your CSR.

Recommended Method: Use the DigiCert Java Keytool CSR Wizard

Save yourself some time: Use the DigiCert Java Keytool CSR Wizard to generate a Keytool command to create your Tomcat keystore and CSR.

1. Simply fill out the form, click Generate, and then paste your customized Java Keytool command into your terminal.

2. The Java keytool utility creates both your private key and your certificate signing request, and saves them to two files: your_common_name.jks, and your_common_name.csr.

3. You can then copy the contents of the CSR file and paste it into the CSR text box in our order form.

4. Skip to Step 2, part 3: Save and Back-up Your Keystore File.

Do you prefer a more manual approach to generating your Tomcat keystore and CSR? Follow the instructions below.

Step 1: Use Keytool to Create a New Keystore

Important: We recommend you generate a new keystore following the process outlined in this section. Installing a new certificate to an old keystore often ends in installation errors or the SSL/TLS certificate not working properly. Before you begin this process, backup and remove any old keystores.

1. Run Command

   1. Navigate to the directory where you plan to manage your keystore and SSL/TLS certificate.

   2. Enter the command below.

      In the command above, your_site_name should be the name of the domain you want to secure with this SSL/TLS certificate. When ordering a Wildcard certificate, do not include the asterisk (*) in the filename (e.g., your_site_name). The asterisk is not a valid keytool character.

   3. Create a Password

      1. When prompted, create a password for your Keystore.

         Note: You will specify this password in your Tomcat configuration file and then use it to generate your CSR and to import your certificate.

      2. Store this password somewhere safe, such as a trusted and secured password manager.

   4. Enter your SSL/TLS certificate information.

      Important: When prompted for the first and last name, DO NOT type your first and last name. Instead, type the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) for the site you are securing with this certificate (e.g., www.yourdomain.com, mail.yourdomain.com). Are you are ordering a Wildcard Certificate? Then your FQDN must begin with an asterisk (*). (e.g.,*.yourdomain.com).

   5. Enter your Organization information.

   6. When prompted to verify your information, type y or yes to confirm.

   7. When asked for a 'key password for ', press enter to use the password you just created for the keystore file.

2. Your keystore file, your_site_name.jks, is now created and in your current working directory.

Step 2: Generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) from your New Keystore

1. Run Command

   1. In Keytool, type the following command:

      In the command above, your_site_name should be the name of the keystore file you created in Step 1: Use Keytool to Create a New Keystore or when using the DigiCert Java Keytool CSR Wizard.

   2. When prompted, enter the password you created earlier (when you created your new keystore).

   3. In your current directory, csr.txt (e.g., your_site_domain.txt) now contains your CSR.

2. Save and Back-up Your Keystore File

   1. Take note of the path to your keystore file (your_site_domain.jks) as your SSL/TLS certificate will be installed to it later.

   2. We recommend that you create a back-up copy of your Keystore file (your_site_domain.jks) before continuing. Having a back-up of the Keystore file can help resolve issues that may occur during certificate SSL/TLS installation.

3. Order Your SSL/TLS Certificate

   1. Open the .csr file you created with a text editor.

   2. Copy the text, including the -----BEGIN NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST----- and -----END NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST----- tags, and paste it in to the DigiCert order form.

   3. Make sure that when you Select Server Software, you select Tomcat.

   After you've received your SSL/TLS certificate from DigiCert, you can install it on your Tomcat server.
