Setting up SSL with .NET UI
During installation of the .NET UI, you are prompted for the Tomcat port number, which defaults to 8080. This is the port for the HTTP listener, referenced by http://servername:8080. The default HTTPS listener is port 8443, referenced by https://servername:8443.
If you need to use a different port for HTTPS, follow the instructions in
Update Tomcat Port Numbers to modify
server.xml in the
TomcatInstallDir/
conf directory. For HTTPS, edit the section for SSL HTTP/1.1 and modify the Connector port shown here:
<!-- Define a SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8443 -->
<Connector port="8443"
maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
enableLookups="false" disableUploadTimeout="true"
acceptCount="100" scheme="https" secure="true"
keystoreFile="bin/keystore"
clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" />
The system installs a placeholder certificate located in the directory specified by:
keystoreFile="bin/keystore"
This directory is relative to the Tomcat install directory. If you use SSL, replace the default certificate with your own valid, signed certificate. While you can run under HTTPS with the certificate supplied by QAD, users will see security warnings about the certificate.
To find more information on how to configure SSL, review the information on the Tomcat Web site:
Note: If you implement HTTPS, do not change the Menu Lookup URL in the administration settings for the Process Editor from HTTP to HTTPS. This URL is used on the server and does not affect client communication.
