39<p>SSL, or Secure Socket Layer, is a technology which allows web browsers and
40web servers to communicate over a secured connection.  This means that the data
41being sent is encrypted by one side, transmitted, then decrypted by the other
42side before processing.  This is a two-way process, meaning that both the
43server AND the browser encrypt all traffic before sending out data.</p>
44
45<p>Another important aspect of the SSL protocol is Authentication.  This means
46that during your initial attempt to communicate with a web server over a secure
47connection, that server will present your web browser with a set of
48credentials, in the form of a "Certificate", as proof the site is who and what
49it claims to be.  In certain cases, the server may also request a Certificate
50from your web browser, asking for proof that <em>you</em> are who you claim
51to be.  This is known as "Client Authentication," although in practice this is
52used more for business-to-business (B2B) transactions than with individual
53users.  Most SSL-enabled web servers do not request Client Authentication.</p>

56
57<p>It is important to note that configuring Tomcat to take advantage of
58secure sockets is usually only necessary when running it as a stand-alone
59web server.  When running Tomcat primarily as a Servlet/JSP container behind
60another web server, such as Apache or Microsoft IIS, it is usually necessary
61to configure the primary web server to handle the SSL connections from users.
62Typically, this server will negotiate all SSL-related functionality, then
63pass on any requests destined for the Tomcat container only after decrypting
64those requests.  Likewise, Tomcat will return cleartext responses, that will
65be encrypted before being returned to the user's browser.  In this environment,
66Tomcat knows that communications between the primary web server and the
67client are taking place over a secure connection (because your application
68needs to be able to ask about this), but it does not participate in the
69encryption or decryption itself.</p>

72
73<p>In order to implement SSL, a web server must have an associated Certificate
74for each external interface (IP address) that accepts secure connections.
75The theory behind this design is that a server should provide some kind of
76reasonable assurance that its owner is who you think it is, particularly
77before receiving any sensitive information.  While a broader explanation of
78Certificates is beyond the scope of this document, think of a Certificate
79as a "digital driver's license" for an Internet address.  It states what
80company the site is associated with, along with some basic contact
81information about the site owner or administrator.</p>
82
83<p>This "driver's license" is cryptographically signed by its owner, and is
84therefore extremely difficult for anyone else to forge.  For sites involved
85in e-commerce, or any other business transaction in which authentication of
86identity is important, a Certificate is typically purchased from a well-known
87<em>Certificate Authority</em> (CA) such as VeriSign or Thawte.  Such
88certificates can be electronically verified -- in effect, the Certificate
89Authority will vouch for the authenticity of the certificates that it grants,
90so you can believe that that Certificate is valid if you trust the Certificate
91Authority that granted it.</p>
92
93<p>In many cases, however, authentication is not really a concern.  An
94administrator may simply want to ensure that the data being transmitted and
95received by the server is private and cannot be snooped by anyone who may be
96eavesdropping on the connection.  Fortunately, Java provides a relatively
97simple command-line tool, called <code>keytool</code>, which can easily create
98a "self-signed" Certificate.  Self-signed Certificates are simply user
99generated Certificates which have not been officially registered with any
100well-known CA, and are therefore not really guaranteed to be authentic at all.
101Again, this may or may not even be important, depending on your needs.</p>

104
105<p>The first time a user attempts to access a secured page on your site,
106he or she is typically presented with a dialog containing the details of
107the certificate (such as the company and contact name), and asked if he or she
108wishes to accept the Certificate as valid and continue with the transaction.
109Some browsers will provide an option for permanently accepting a given
110Certificate as valid, in which case the user will not be bothered with a
111prompt each time they visit your site.  Other browsers do not provide this
112option.  Once approved by the user, a Certificate will be considered valid
113for at least the entire browser session.</p>
114
115<p>Also, while the SSL protocol was designed to be as efficient as securely
116possible, encryption/decryption is a computationally expensive process from
117a performance standpoint.  It is not strictly necessary to run an entire
118web application over SSL, and indeed a developer can pick and choose which
119pages require a secure connection and which do not.  For a reasonably busy
120site, it is customary to only run certain pages under SSL, namely those
121pages where sensitive information could possibly be exchanged.  This would
122include things like login pages, personal information pages, and shopping
123cart checkouts, where credit card information could possibly be transmitted.
124Any page within an application can be requested over a secure socket by
125simply prefixing the address with <code>https:</code> instead of
126<code>http:</code>.  Any pages which absolutely <strong>require</strong>
127a secure connection should check the protocol type associated with the
128page request and take the appropriate action if <code>https</code> is not
129specified.</p>
130
131<p>Finally, using name-based virtual hosts on a secured connection can be
132problematic.  This is a design limitation of the SSL protocol itself.  The SSL
133handshake, where the client browser accepts the server certificate, must occur
134before the HTTP request is accessed.  As a result, the request information
135containing the virtual host name cannot be determined prior to authentication,
136and it is therefore not possible to assign multiple certificates to a single
137IP address.  If all virtual hosts on a single IP address need to authenticate
138against the same certificate, the addition of multiple virtual hosts should not
139interfere with normal SSL operations on the server.  Be aware, however, that
140most client browsers will compare the server's domain name against the domain
141name listed in the certificate, if any (applicable primarily to official,
142CA-signed certificates).  If the domain names do not match, these browsers will
143display a warning to the client user.  In general, only address-based virtual
144hosts are commonly used with SSL in a production environment.</p>

149
150<p>Tomcat currently operates only on <code>JKS</code>, <code>PKCS11</code> or
151<code>PKCS12</code> format keystores.  The <code>JKS</code> format
152is Java's standard "Java KeyStore" format, and is the format created by the
153<code>keytool</code> command-line utility.  This tool is included in the JDK.
154The <code>PKCS12</code> format is an internet standard, and can be manipulated
155via (among other things) OpenSSL and Microsoft's Key-Manager.
156</p>
157
158<p>Each entry in a keystore is identified by an alias string. Whilst many
159keystore implementations treat aliases in a case insensitive manner, case
160sensitive implementations are available. The <code>PKCS11</code> specification,
161for example, requires that aliases are case sensitive. To avoid issues related
162to the case sensitivity of aliases, it is not recommended to use aliases that
163differ only in case.
164</p>
165
166<p>To import an existing certificate into a JKS keystore, please read the
167documentation (in your JDK documentation package) about <code>keytool</code>.
168Note that OpenSSL often adds readable comments before the key,
169<code>keytool</code>does not support that, so remove the OpenSSL comments if
170they exist before importing the key using <code>keytool</code>.
171</p>
172<p>To import an existing certificate signed by your own CA into a PKCS12
173keystore using OpenSSL you would execute a command like:

213<p>After executing this command, you will first be prompted for the keystore
214password.  The default password used by Tomcat is "<code>changeit</code>"
215(all lower case), although you can specify a custom password if you like.
216You will also need to specify the custom password in the
217<code>server.xml</code> configuration file, as described later.</p>
218
219<p>Next, you will be prompted for general information about this Certificate,
220such as company, contact name, and so on.  This information will be displayed
221to users who attempt to access a secure page in your application, so make
222sure that the information provided here matches what they will expect.</p>
223
224<p>Finally, you will be prompted for the <em>key password</em>, which is the
225password specifically for this Certificate (as opposed to any other
226Certificates stored in the same keystore file).  You <strong>MUST</strong>
227use the same password here as was used for the keystore password itself.
228(Currently, the <code>keytool</code> prompt will tell you that pressing the
229ENTER key does this for you automatically.)</p>
230
231<p>If everything was successful, you now have a keystore file with a
232Certificate that can be used by your server.</p>
233
234<p><strong>Note:</strong> your private key password and keystore password
235should be the same.  If they differ, you will get an error along the lines
236of <code>java.io.IOException: Cannot recover key</code>, as documented in

258SSLRandomSeed allows to specify a source of entropy. Productive system needs a reliable source of entropy
259but entropy may need a lot of time to be collected therefore test systems could use no blocking entropy
260sources like "/dev/urandom" that will allow quicker starts of Tomcat.

343
344<p>You will note that the Connector element itself is commented out by default,
345so you will need to remove the comment tags around it.  Then, you can
346customize the specified attributes as necessary.  For detailed information
347about the various options, consult the
348<a href="../config/index.html">Server Configuration Reference</a>.  The
349following discussion covers only those attributes of most interest when
350setting up SSL communication.</p>
351
352<p>The <code>port</code> attribute (default value is 8443) is the TCP/IP
353port number on which Tomcat will listen for secure connections.  You can
354change this to any port number you wish (such as to the default port for
355<code>https</code> communications, which is 443).  However, special setup
356(outside the scope of this document) is necessary to run Tomcat on port
357numbers lower than 1024 on many operating systems.</p>
358
359  <blockquote><em>
360  <p>If you change the port number here, you should also change the
361  value specified for the <code>redirectPort</code> attribute on the
362  non-SSL connector.  This allows Tomcat to automatically redirect
363  users who attempt to access a page with a security constraint specifying
364  that SSL is required, as required by the Servlet 2.4 Specification.</p>
365  </em></blockquote>
366
367<p>There are additional options used to configure the SSL protocol.
368  You may need to add or change the following attribute
369values, depending on how you configured your keystore earlier:</p>

485  in the field "first- and lastname" in order to create a working Certificate.
486</li>
487<li>The CSR is then created with:

538    <blockquote>
539    <p>A likely explanation is that Tomcat cannot find the keystore file
540    where it is looking.  By default, Tomcat expects the keystore file to
541    be named <code>.keystore</code> in the user home directory under which
542    Tomcat is running (which may or may not be the same as yours :-).  If
543    the keystore file is anywhere else, you will need to add a
544    <code>keystoreFile</code> attribute to the <code>&lt;Factory&gt;</code>
545    element in the <a href="#Edit the Tomcat Configuration File">Tomcat
546    configuration file</a>.</p>

552    <blockquote>
553    <p>Assuming that someone has not <em>actually</em> tampered with
554    your keystore file, the most likely cause is that Tomcat is using
555    a different password than the one you used when you created the
556    keystore file.  To fix this, you can either go back and
557    <a href="#Prepare the Certificate Keystore">recreate the keystore
558    file</a>, or you can add or update the <code>keystorePass</code>
559    attribute on the <code>&lt;Connector&gt;</code> element in the
560    <a href="#Edit the Tomcat Configuration File">Tomcat configuration
561    file</a>.  <strong>REMINDER</strong> - Passwords are case sensitive!</p>

569    <p>A likely explanation is that Tomcat cannot find the alias for the server
570    key withinthe specified keystore. Check that the correct
571    <code>keystoreFile</code> and <code>keyAlias</code> are specified in the
572    <code>&lt;Connector&gt;</code> element in the
