SSL configuration in JBoss


To configure an SSL port with keystore , check the following steps:

1. Generate the keystore with the following command ( using the java keytool command)
keytool -genkey -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA -keystore NAME_OF_KEYSTORE -validity NUMBER_OF_DAYS
( For more details check the url http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/tooldocs/windows/keytool.html )

2. Copy the file into the jboss/server/<NAME>/conf/ directory

3. Edit the server.xml in the following path
JBoss version 4.0.4 = jboss/server/<NAME>/deploy/jbossweb-tomcat55.sar/
JBoss version 4.2.2 = jboss/server/<NAME>/deploy/jboss-web.deployer/

4. For JBOSS 4.0.4 the SSL-connector should be configured like:

<!– SSL/TLS Connector configuration using the admin devl guide keystore     –>
<Connector port=”THE_PORT_YOU_LIKE” address=”${jboss.bind.address}”
maxThreads=”100? strategy=”ms” maxHttpHeaderSize=”8192?
emptySessionPath=”true”
scheme=”https” secure=”true” clientAuth=”false”
keystoreFile=”${jboss.server.home.dir}/conf/THE_KEYSTORE_NAME”
keystorePass=”PASSWORD_FOR_THE_KEYSTORE” sslProtocol = “TLS” />

For JBOSS 4.2.2, configure it like this:

<Connector port=”THE_PORT_YOU_LIKE” protocol=”HTTP/1.1? SSLEnabled=”true”
maxThreads=”150? scheme=”https” secure=”true”
clientAuth=”false”
strategy=”ms”
address=”${jboss.bind.address}”
keystoreFile=”${jboss.server.home.dir}/conf/THE_KEYSTORE_NAME”
keystorePass=”PASSWORD_FOR_THE_KEYSTORE”
truststoreFile=”${jboss.server.home.dir}/conf/THE_KEYSTORE_NAME”
truststorePass=”PASSWORD_FOR_THE_KEYSTORE”
sslProtocol=”TLS”/>

5. Now you should be able to access your application through https. Remember to use https:// instead of http:// in your browser-url, or else it will fail.

6. If you want to disable the non-secured port 8080, comment and disable that connector in the same server.xml.

7. Example for jboss-4.0.5.GA
jboss-4.0.5.GA\server\<application>\deploy\jbossweb-tomcat55.sar\server.xml

<!– SSL/TLS Connector configuration using the admin devl guide keystore –>
<Connector port=”8443? address=”${jboss.bind.address}”
maxThreads=”100? strategy=”ms” maxHttpHeaderSize=”8192?
emptySessionPath=”true”
scheme=”https” secure=”true” clientAuth=”false”
keystoreFile=”${jboss.server.home.dir}/conf/my.keystore”
keystorePass=”pwd123? sslProtocol = “TLS” />

JBoss - know more about the JBoss directory structure

Fundamentally, the JBoss architecture consists of the JMX MBean server, the microkernel, and a set of pluggable component services - the MBeans. The JBoss Application Server ships with three different server configurations. Within the <JBoss_Home>/server directory, you will find three subdirectories: minimal, default and all. The default configuration is the one used if you don’t specify another one when starting up the server. If you want to know which services are configured in each of these instances, look at the jboss-service.xml file in the <JBoss_Home>/server/<instance-name>/conf/ directory and also the configuration files in the <JBoss_Home>/server/<instance-name>/deploy directory. JBoss 4.0 features an embedded Apache Tomcat 5.5 servlet container. conf --> The conf directory contains the jboss-service.xml bootstrap descriptor file for a given server configuration. This has the jboss-log4j.xml file which configures the Apach...

ATG Search - search engine tuning settings

In this blog, I am going to list the best tuning settings for ATG Search engine. The AESoapConfig.xml, AESoapWaspConfig.xml  and AEConfig.xml are the xmls referred below and you can find it @  <ATG_DIR>\<Searchx.x>\SearchEngine\<operating_system>\bin\ folder. (1)  Make sure that the AESoapConfig.xml's rwTimeout is less than or equal to routing's readTimeoutMs. You could find the routing's readTimeoutMs @ atg\search\routing\SearchEngineService component.               rwTimeout is the  length of time in seconds to wait before a read or write operation times out on an active connection. The number can be decreased to improve performance. However, a value that is too low could cause slow connections to be prematurely closed. (2)  Adjust the number of engine threads to match the number of CPUs available to the engine. Note that the minimal value for maxThreads and maxSpar...
