Setting up Jetty for SSL Communication

  1. Out of the box, the Rest API will only allow SSL communication. However, you are required to set up a key store that includes a server certificate.

    See Creating a Key Store File with Self-Signed Certificate details below on how to create a self-signed certificate.

  2. Once the eftlink-rest-api "keystore" file has been created, you will need to obfuscate the password.

    See the Obfuscating Text using Jetty section below.

  3. Replace the text ObfuscatedPassword Here with your obfuscated password.

    For example:

    <New id="sslContextFactory" class="org.eclipse.jetty.util.ssl.SslContextFactory">

    …

    <Set name="KeyStorePassword">ObfuscatedPasswordHere</Set>

    <Set name="KeyManagerPassword">ObfuscatedPasswordHere</Set>

    <Set name="TrustStorePassword">ObfuscatedPasswordHere</Set>

    …

    </New>
