Question

CF 9 developer box with SSL

Hi All,

I was able to setup CF9 with SSL in the pass using this https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1330662

Getting an error using Firefox 53.0.2 when I open my site https://localhost:9100/mySite

localhost:9100 uses an invalid security certificate.

The certificate is not trusted because it is self-signed.

The certificate is not valid for the name localhost.

Error code: SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER

Adding the exception doesn't fix the issue because I cannot use my site with https.

Any ideas about this issue?

Best

    I'm not sure what you mean by "adding the exception doesn't fix the issue because I cannot use my site with https". What exactly happens when you add the exception? Do you get the same error after adding it as you got before adding it?

    Also, you might have another problem which won't be so easy to fix. The version of Java used by CF 9 is OLD. It doesn't support modern ciphers. Firefox may not allow you to use the older ciphers, once you fix the first problem.

    Is there a reason you can't just upgrade to CF 11 or CF 2016 for development?

    Thanks for your reply and help.

    "What exactly happens when you add the exception? Do you get the same error after adding it as you got before adding it?"

    I get a different error: Connection is not secure, SSL_ERROR_INTERNAL_ERROR_ALERT

    "The version of Java used by CF 9 is OLD"

    Ok, Let me upgrade to CF11. Can I do the same steps using CF11?

    Best,

    Hi All,

    I have CF11 installed with the latest update 11.

    Anyone configured CF11 using https?

    Thanks,
