How to configure SSL in jboss Standalone mode?

How to generate and install SSL in jboss standalone mode?

Note: I am using Self signed certificate for demo purpose (Please do not use the same in production)

Step1: Generate Self signed SSL certificate using Java keytool

Note: You will need to have java environment variable set Click Here to refer to my previous post on
How to install java and set environment variables in linux

Command: keytool -genkey -alias ncm -keyalg RSA -keystore ncm.keystore -validity 365

Update with SHA256 algorithm:- keytool -genkey -alias ncm -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -sigalg SHA256withRSA -validity 365 -keypass "Password" -keystore ncm.jks -storepass "Password"

keytool -export -alias ncm -file server.cer -keystore ncm.jks -storepass Changeit

Note: keep the password for keystore and keyfile same  so that you will remember easily.

Step2: Place the generated key $JBOSS_HOME/standalone/configuration/

Step3: Edit $JBOSS_HOME/standalone/configuration/standalone.xml and add the HTTPS connector

<connector name="https" scheme="https" protocol="HTTP/1.1" socket-binding="https" enable-lookups="false" secure="true">
<ssl name="ncm-ssl" password="123456" protocol="TLSv1" key-alias="ncm" certificate-key-file="../standalone/configuration/ncm.keystore" />
</connector>

Step4: Start/restart the jboss server and Test the configuration by browsing url https://localhost:8443
