40<p>SSL, or Secure Socket Layer, is a technology which allows web browsers and
41web servers to communicate over a secured connection.  This means that the data
42being sent is encrypted by one side, transmitted, then decrypted by the other
43side before processing.  This is a two-way process, meaning that both the
44server AND the browser encrypt all traffic before sending out data.</p>
45
46<p>Another important aspect of the SSL protocol is Authentication.  This means
47that during your initial attempt to communicate with a web server over a secure
48connection, that server will present your web browser with a set of
49credentials, in the form of a "Certificate", as proof the site is who and what
50it claims to be.  In certain cases, the server may also request a Certificate
51from your web browser, asking for proof that <em>you</em> are who you claim
52to be.  This is known as "Client Authentication," although in practice this is
53used more for business-to-business (B2B) transactions than with individual
54users.  Most SSL-enabled web servers do not request Client Authentication.</p>

57
58<p>It is important to note that configuring Tomcat to take advantage of
59secure sockets is usually only necessary when running it as a stand-alone
60web server.  When running Tomcat primarily as a Servlet/JSP container behind
61another web server, such as Apache or Microsoft IIS, it is usually necessary
62to configure the primary web server to handle the SSL connections from users.
63Typically, this server will negotiate all SSL-related functionality, then
64pass on any requests destined for the Tomcat container only after decrypting
65those requests.  Likewise, Tomcat will return cleartext responses, that will
66be encrypted before being returned to the user's browser.  In this environment,
67Tomcat knows that communications between the primary web server and the
68client are taking place over a secure connection (because your application
69needs to be able to ask about this), but it does not participate in the
70encryption or decryption itself.</p>

73
74<p>In order to implement SSL, a web server must have an associated Certificate
75for each external interface (IP address) that accepts secure connections.
76The theory behind this design is that a server should provide some kind of
77reasonable assurance that its owner is who you think it is, particularly
78before receiving any sensitive information.  While a broader explanation of
79Certificates is beyond the scope of this document, think of a Certificate
80as a "digital driver's license" for an Internet address.  It states what
81company the site is associated with, along with some basic contact
82information about the site owner or administrator.</p>
83
84<p>This "driver's license" is cryptographically signed by its owner, and is
85therefore extremely difficult for anyone else to forge.  For sites involved
86in e-commerce, or any other business transaction in which authentication of
87identity is important, a Certificate is typically purchased from a well-known
88<em>Certificate Authority</em> (CA) such as VeriSign or Thawte.  Such
89certificates can be electronically verified -- in effect, the Certificate
90Authority will vouch for the authenticity of the certificates that it grants,
91so you can believe that that Certificate is valid if you trust the Certificate
92Authority that granted it.</p>
93
94<p>In many cases, however, authentication is not really a concern.  An
95administrator may simply want to ensure that the data being transmitted and
96received by the server is private and cannot be snooped by anyone who may be
97eavesdropping on the connection.  Fortunately, Java provides a relatively
98simple command-line tool, called <code>keytool</code>, which can easily create
99a "self-signed" Certificate.  Self-signed Certificates are simply user
100generated Certificates which have not been officially registered with any
101well-known CA, and are therefore not really guaranteed to be authentic at all.
102Again, this may or may not even be important, depending on your needs.</p>

105
106<p>The first time a user attempts to access a secured page on your site,
107he or she is typically presented with a dialog containing the details of
108the certificate (such as the company and contact name), and asked if he or she
109wishes to accept the Certificate as valid and continue with the transaction.
110Some browsers will provide an option for permanently accepting a given
111Certificate as valid, in which case the user will not be bothered with a
112prompt each time they visit your site.  Other browsers do not provide this
113option.  Once approved by the user, a Certificate will be considered valid
114for at least the entire browser session.</p>
115
116<p>Also, while the SSL protocol was designed to be as efficient as securely
117possible, encryption/decryption is a computationally expensive process from
118a performance standpoint.  It is not strictly necessary to run an entire
119web application over SSL, and indeed a developer can pick and choose which
120pages require a secure connection and which do not.  For a reasonably busy
121site, it is customary to only run certain pages under SSL, namely those
122pages where sensitive information could possibly be exchanged.  This would
123include things like login pages, personal information pages, and shopping
124cart checkouts, where credit card information could possibly be transmitted.
125Any page within an application can be requested over a secure socket by
126simply prefixing the address with <code>https:</code> instead of
127<code>http:</code>.  Any pages which absolutely <strong>require</strong>
128a secure connection should check the protocol type associated with the
129page request and take the appropriate action if <code>https</code> is not
130specified.</p>
131
132<p>Finally, using name-based virtual hosts on a secured connection can be
133problematic.  This is a design limitation of the SSL protocol itself.  The SSL
134handshake, where the client browser accepts the server certificate, must occur
135before the HTTP request is accessed.  As a result, the request information
136containing the virtual host name cannot be determined prior to authentication,
137and it is therefore not possible to assign multiple certificates to a single
138IP address.  If all virtual hosts on a single IP address need to authenticate
139against the same certificate, the addition of multiple virtual hosts should not
140interfere with normal SSL operations on the server.  Be aware, however, that
141most client browsers will compare the server's domain name against the domain
142name listed in the certificate, if any (applicable primarily to official,
143CA-signed certificates).  If the domain names do not match, these browsers will
144display a warning to the client user.  In general, only address-based virtual
145hosts are commonly used with SSL in a production environment.</p>

150
151<p>Tomcat currently operates only on <code>JKS</code>, <code>PKCS11</code> or
152<code>PKCS12</code> format keystores.  The <code>JKS</code> format
153is Java's standard "Java KeyStore" format, and is the format created by the
154<code>keytool</code> command-line utility.  This tool is included in the JDK.
155The <code>PKCS12</code> format is an internet standard, and can be manipulated
156via (among other things) OpenSSL and Microsoft's Key-Manager.
157</p>
158
159<p>Each entry in a keystore is identified by an alias string. Whilst many
160keystore implementations treat aliases in a case insensitive manner, case
161sensitive implementations are available. The <code>PKCS11</code> specification,
162for example, requires that aliases are case sensitive. To avoid issues related
163to the case sensitivity of aliases, it is not recommended to use aliases that
164differ only in case.
165</p>
166
167<p>To import an existing certificate into a JKS keystore, please read the
168documentation (in your JDK documentation package) about <code>keytool</code>.
169Note that OpenSSL often adds readable comments before the key,
170<code>keytool</code>does not support that, so remove the OpenSSL comments if
171they exist before importing the key using <code>keytool</code>.
172</p>
173<p>To import an existing certificate signed by your own CA into a PKCS12
174keystore using OpenSSL you would execute a command like:

214<p>After executing this command, you will first be prompted for the keystore
215password.  The default password used by Tomcat is "<code>changeit</code>"
216(all lower case), although you can specify a custom password if you like.
217You will also need to specify the custom password in the
218<code>server.xml</code> configuration file, as described later.</p>
219
220<p>Next, you will be prompted for general information about this Certificate,
221such as company, contact name, and so on.  This information will be displayed
222to users who attempt to access a secure page in your application, so make
223sure that the information provided here matches what they will expect.</p>
224
225<p>Finally, you will be prompted for the <em>key password</em>, which is the
226password specifically for this Certificate (as opposed to any other
227Certificates stored in the same keystore file).  You <strong>MUST</strong>
228use the same password here as was used for the keystore password itself.
229(Currently, the <code>keytool</code> prompt will tell you that pressing the
230ENTER key does this for you automatically.)</p>
231
232<p>If everything was successful, you now have a keystore file with a
233Certificate that can be used by your server.</p>
234
235<p><strong>Note:</strong> your private key password and keystore password
236should be the same.  If they differ, you will get an error along the lines
237of <code>java.io.IOException: Cannot recover key</code>, as documented in

259SSLRandomSeed allows to specify a source of entropy. Productive system needs a reliable source of entropy
260but entropy may need a lot of time to be collected therefore test systems could use no blocking entropy
261sources like "/dev/urandom" that will allow quicker starts of Tomcat.

344
345<p>You will note that the Connector element itself is commented out by default,
346so you will need to remove the comment tags around it.  Then, you can
347customize the specified attributes as necessary.  For detailed information
348about the various options, consult the
349<a href="config/index.html">Server Configuration Reference</a>.  The
350following discussion covers only those attributes of most interest when
351setting up SSL communication.</p>
352
353<p>The <code>port</code> attribute (default value is 8443) is the TCP/IP
354port number on which Tomcat will listen for secure connections.  You can
355change this to any port number you wish (such as to the default port for
356<code>https</code> communications, which is 443).  However, special setup
357(outside the scope of this document) is necessary to run Tomcat on port
358numbers lower than 1024 on many operating systems.</p>
359
360  <blockquote><em>
361  <p>If you change the port number here, you should also change the
362  value specified for the <code>redirectPort</code> attribute on the
363  non-SSL connector.  This allows Tomcat to automatically redirect
364  users who attempt to access a page with a security constraint specifying
365  that SSL is required, as required by the Servlet 2.4 Specification.</p>
366  </em></blockquote>
367
368<p>There are additional options used to configure the SSL protocol.
369  You may need to add or change the following attribute
370values, depending on how you configured your keystore earlier:</p>

540    <p>A likely explanation is that Tomcat cannot find the keystore file

542    be named <code>.keystore</code> in the user home directory under which
543    Tomcat is running (which may or may not be the same as yours :-).  If
544    the keystore file is anywhere else, you will need to add a

558    <a href="#Prepare the Certificate Keystore">recreate the keystore

560    attribute on the <code>&lt;Connector&gt;</code> element in the
