Question

SSL not working

  • November 10, 2013

I have Coldfusion 10 and Coldfusion Builder 2.0 installed entirely on my local Windows 8 machine. I'm using the builtin Tomcat server.

I'm accessing the server using Remote Data Services (RDS).

When I try to run my application it won't run because the IDE runs it as https://localhost:8500/MyApp

If I copy the link and change it to http://localhost:8500/MyApp then it works.

I have both TLS and SSL enabled in Internet Explorer.

I understand that if you use JRun then you have to install a certificate, but I'm not using JRun.

So how can I either get CF Builder to not put the "s" in or get Tomcat to accept it?

Thanks,

Bill

    Hi

    Try the steps mentioned below

    Open Command Prompt as Run as Admin and change the directory to  C:\ColdFusion10\jre\bin

    Type the command below and press Enter

    keytool.exe -genkey -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA

    Enter the password : changeit

    Now in the this location: C:\Users\username you will get a .keystore

    Open the server.xml of the ColdFusion instance : C:\ColdFusion10\cfusion\runtime\conf

    Uncomment the SSl/https

      <Connector port="8443" protocol="HTTP/1.1" SSLEnabled="true"

                   maxThreads="150" scheme="https" secure="true"

                   keystoreFile="C:\Users\username\.keystore" keystorePass="changeit" keyAlias="tomcat"

                   clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" />

    NOTE : You need to add the keystore info in it as I did above

    Save and restart the ColdFusion 10 Application server service

    Now open https://localhost:8443 and it will work

    NOTE : The https port in server.xml is 8443

    Thanks

    Thank you for these detailed instructions. However, the problem persists.

    The problem is probably related to the fact I’m unable to start my localhost server:

    :ERROR: JDWP Transport dt_socket failed to initialize, TRANSPORT_INIT(510)

    :JDWP exit error AGENT_ERROR_TRANSPORT_INIT(197): No transports initialized

    :Error(11/12 at 01:58:47) Server is not responsive.

    Do you know what I would do about that?

    Thanks,

    Bill

    Is your hosts file (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc) looks like this?

    You need to add 127.0.01 for localhost in the hosts file.

    Thanks
