Configuring Java CAPS for SSL Support

Testing the New SSL Connection

This procedure verifies that SSL support has been correctly installed.

ProcedureTo Test the New SSL Connection

  1. Load the default Repository server introduction page with the following URL:


    https://localhost:8443/

    The https portion indicates that the browser should use the SSL protocol.

    The port 8443 is where the SSL Connector was created in Configuring the server.xml File.

  2. The first time that you load this application, the New Site Certificate dialog box appears. Select Next to move through the series of New Site Certificate dialog boxes. Select Finish when you reach the last dialog box.


    Note –

    You should still have the option to use HTTP to connect to the NetBeans IDE. System administrators should not block the HTTP port.
