Installing SSL connector for Tomcat on Linux/Debian

Hello everybody,

I'm trying to set up a SSL transport layer, but I'm coming up against some
difficulties.

Specifically, I followed all the steps requires and specified as in the
Tomcat guide - adding some suggestions I found around on several web site
for the installation of APR libraries - but still it doesn't work.

I'm using Tomcat 6.0.20 with the last version of APR library, on a
Lenny/Debian distribution.

The output I get in catalina.out is:

18-Aug-2009 18:05:55 org.apache.catalina.startup.SetAllPropertiesRule begin
WARNING: [SetAllPropertiesRule]{Server/Service/Connector} Setting property
'clientAuth' to 'false' did not find a matching property.

18-Aug-2009 18:05:55 org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina load
INFO: Initialization processed in 656 ms

While my server configuration is:

<!-- Define a SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8443 -->
<Connector port="8443" protocol="HTTP/1.1" SSLEnabled="true"
maxThreads="150" scheme="https" secure="true" clientAuth="false"
sslProtocol="TLS" enableLookups="false" disableUploadTimeout="true"
SSLEngine="on"
SSLCertificateFile="${catalina.base}/config/certs/self-signed-cert.pem"
SSLCertificateKeyFile="${catalina.base}/config/certs/rsa-private-key.pem"/>

Where the certificates where generated with OpenSLL on a Windows Platform.

In addition, I included the following lines at the beginning of setclass
file

CATALINA_OPTS="$CATALINA_OPTS
-Djava.library.path=/home/daniele/tomcat-6.0.20/bin/tomcat-native-1.1.16-src/jni/native/.libs"

Where the APR libraries are deposed after the installation.

Any hints or suggestions?

So you are successfully using APR.

"clientAuth" is not a valid attribute for the APR SSL connector (though
it /is/ valid for the non-APR connector).

See
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/http.html
versus
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/apr.html

You want to use "SSLVerifyClient" instead of "clientAuth", though the
default ("none") is what it looks like you want.

"SSLEngine" is not a valid attribute for the APR SSL connector (nor is
it valid for the non-APR connector; that should be "SSLEnabled").

Instead, the "SSLEngine" attribute should appear in your APR lifecycle
listener, like this:

<Listener className="org.apache.catalina.core.AprLifecycleListener"
SSLEngine="on" />

> <Connector port="8443" protocol="HTTP/1.1" SSLEnabled="true"

> SSLEngine="on"
> SSLCertificateFile="${catalina.base}/config/certs/self-signed-cert.pem"
> SSLCertificateKeyFile="${catalina.base}/config/certs/rsa-private-key.pem"/>

Your value for sslProtocol does not match the list of acceptable values
in http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/apr.html. You might want to
check again.

It appears that this has correctly enabled tcnative. Congratulations,
although you probably should go ahead and upgrade to 1.1.18.

fyi, i finally figured out what i was doing wrong.  When building the tomcat
native connector i didn't include the '--with-ssl=yes' option ... see below
the correct command configure command:

# Build the Tomcat native connector.
cd tomcat-native-*-src/jni/native
JAVA_HOME="%{java_home}" ./configure \
    --prefix=%{home} \
    --with-apr=/usr/bin/apr-1-config \
    --with-ssl=yes

make


Hope this helps others with similar issue I had!

Re: Installing SSL connector for Tomcat on Linux/Debian

hi,

I've been running into almost the same issue you've described here.  just
wondering if you've discovered a solution.  I tried to upgrade to the latest
version of tomcat-native-1.1.18 src, but that didn't help.

any insights would be appreciated!

in my context...i'm converting from redhat supported version of tomcat6 to
open source tomcat6.

SSL connector works fine when i use the redhat's version of the jar files... 
see diff of the lib dir between redhat's tomcat vs open source tomcat below:
