Configure Repertoire in HTTPS mode

Elixir Repertoire
1

Shown below are the steps to configure the Repertoire server to run in secure protocol (HTTPS) mode.

  1. Stop the Repertoire Server.

  2. In the Repertoire Server, edit /config/ERS2.xml and uncomment the lines as shown below

<!-- use these for secure mode (https) -->
<ers:property name="Secure">true</ers:property>
<ers:property name="Port">8443</ers:property>
<ers:property name="Password">secret</ers:property>
  1. Afterwards, do comment out the plain mode lines as shown below:
<!-- use these for plain mode (http) -->
<!--<ers:property name="Secure">false</ers:property>
<ers:property name="Port">8080</ers:property>-->

  1. Create a new directory, “ssl” inside the /config directory. (To store the “keystore”)
    for example,

    image859×317 15 KB

  2. Open a command prompt in the new /ssl directory and enter the following to create a keystore.
    <JAVA_HOME>/bin/keytool -keystore keystore -alias jetty -genkey -keyalg RSA
    *Based on the above command, do ensure to replace “<JAVA_HOME>” with your respective JAVA home path.

Feel free to refer to the following link for more details on creating a keytool.

  1. After generating the keystore in /config/ssl directory, go back to the ERX2.xml file and enter the password you chose into the password property as highlighted below.
    <ers:property name=“Password”>secret</ers:property>

  2. Save the ERS2.xml file and restart the Repertoire server. Repertoire server would than be accessible through the HTTPS protocol.
    For example, “https://localhost:8080”
