OK - so I have a bit of a conundrum...
The organization I work for is attempting to get JBoss running with SSL.
We have purchased a GoDaddy Turbo SSL cert. The problem is this... GoDaddy doesn't
have a cert specific for JBoss. They do however support Apache and Tomcat. I optend for
"Other" as JBoss wasn't listed. I do realize however this may not have been
the wisest choice.
I have been reviewing the JBoss wiki located at
http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/SSLSetup;jsessionid=648378AE78137D63E6CE8DA1B7...
It seems to be heavily geared towards JBoss-3.2.3/Tomcat-4.1.x with anecdotal references
to JBoss-4.2.1.
Anyway... I am hoping that I am on the right tract. Maybe somebody can steer me in the
right direction...
Our implementation is somewhat non-standard. But the directory structure is basically
unchanged.
Here are the steps I've taken thus far:
1.) Generate the keystore file using Sun JAVA 1.4.2_15
M:\java\j2sdk1.4.2_15\bin\keytool.exe -genkey -alias jboss-ssl - keyalg RSA -keystore
M:\clients\rel500-qa\SSL\rel500-qa.keystore -validity 3650
NOTE: rel500-qa is the name of the site in question.
2.) Generate the CSR
M:\java\j2sdk1.4.2_15\bin\keytool.exe -certreq -alias jboss-ssl -keyalg RSA -file
M:\clients\rel500-qa\SSL\rel500-qa.csr -keystore
M:\clients\rel500-qa\SSL\rel500-qa.keystore
3.) Submit the CSR to GoDaddy and receive a Turbo SSL Cert
4.) According to GoDaddy, it was recommended that I include GoDaddy's
"Cross-Intermediate and Intermediate certs."
a.) M:\java\j2sdk1.4.2_15\bin\keytool.exe -import -alias cross -keystore
rel500-qa.keystore -trustcacerts -file M:\clients\rel500-qa\SSL\gd_cross_intermediate.cer
b.) M:\java\j2sdk1.4.2_15\bin\keytool.exe -keystore
M:\clients\rel500-qa\SSL\rel500-qa.keystore -import -alias inter -file
M:\clients\rel500-qa\SSL\gd_intermediate.cer.
5.) Import the GoDaddy assigned cert
M:\java\j2sdk1.4.2_15\bin\keytool.exe -keystore
M:\clients\rel500-qa\SSL\rel500-qa.keystore -keyalg "RSA" -import -trustcacerts
-file M:\clients\rel500-qa\SSL\rel500-qa.domain-name.crt
I now have a fully populated keystore file.
When I test the keystore for PKCS12 validity, it fails...
M:\clients\rel500-qa\SSL>M:\java\j2sdk1.4.2_15\bin\keytool.exe -list -keystore
M:\clients\rel500-qa\SSL\rel500-qa.keystore -storetype PKCS12
| keytool error: java.io.IOException: DerInputStream.getLength(): lengthTag=109, too
big.
That is my first hurdle...
After that is resolved, my next hurdle is WHERE should the keystore file reside?
From the wiki, I am thinking it belongs in /conf/rel500-qa.keystore
Additionally, I am thinking that according to the wiki, I need to modify
deploy/jboss-web.deployer/server.xml however, the formatting is considerably different
than that for JBoss-3.2.3/Tomcat-4.1.x and I am wondering how it should look. Can I still
use the following configration data:
keystoreFile="${jboss.server.home.dir}/conf/server.keystore"
| keystorePass="tc-ssl"
| protocol = "TLS"/>
If so, how should it look? I am thinking something like this, but I'm not entirely
sure...
<!-- Define a SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8443
| This connector uses the JSSE configuration, when using APR, the
| connector should be using the OpenSSL style configuration
| described in the APR documentation -->
|
| <Connector port="8443" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
SSLEnabled="true"
| maxThreads="150" scheme="https"
secure="true"
| keystoreFile="${jboss.server.home.dir}/conf/server.keystore"
| clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" />
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated - thanks.
