Tomcat ssl connection to Oracle

I'm trying to configure an SSL Oracle connection.  I'm running on
CentOS7 (for my DB Server and my Web Server).

Tomcat 7.0.76-6 from the CentOS Repository, httpd 2.4.6-80  from the
CentOS Repository on the Web Server
Oracle 12.2.0.1 on the Database Server

I'm setting up the datasource in my web.xml - the 1521 port connection
works fine.  I change to 2484 and made the other following parameters
(javax.net.ssl.trustStore parameters):

        <context-param>
                <param-name>type</param-name>
                <param-value>SIMPLE</param-value>
        </context-param>
        <context-param>
                <param-name>datasource</param-name>
                <param-value>mydatasource</param-value>
        </context-param>
        <context-param>
                <param-name>driver</param-name>
                <param-value>oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver</param-value>
        </context-param>
        <context-param>
                <param-name>url</param-name>
<!--
<param-value>jdbc:oracle:thin:@myserver.mydomain.com:1521:mydatasource</param-value>
-->
                <param-value>jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCPS)(PORT=2484)(HOST=myserver.mydomain.com))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=mydatasource.myserver.mydomain.com)))</param-value>
        </context-param>
        <context-param>
                <param-name>javax.net.ssl.trustStore</param-name>
                <param-value>/usr/share/tomcat/conf/TrustStore.JKS</param-value>
        </context-param>
        <context-param>
                <param-name>javax.net.ssl.trustStoreType</param-name>
                <param-value>JKS</param-value>
        </context-param>
        <context-param>
                <param-name>javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword</param-name>
                <param-value>mypassword</param-value>
        </context-param>
        <context-param>
                <param-name>username</param-name>
                <param-value>myuser</param-value>
        </context-param>
        <context-param>
                <param-name>mydbpass</param-name>
                <param-value>apso11</param-value>
        </context-param>


It fails with the following error:

May 22 12:12:00 myserver server: Caused by:
sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed:
sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to
find valid certification path to requested target


the TrustStore.JKS is in that directory.

If I move the jafax.net.ssl.trustStore parameters to the JAVA_OPTS
line, in the startup, then it works.


JAVA_OPTS="-Xms1024m -Xmx2048m
-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=/usr/share/tomcat/conf/TrustStore.JKS
-Djjavax.net.ssl.trustStoreType=JKS
-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=mypassword"

Whatever configures your DataSource must take those <init-param>
values and use them in a meaningful way.

What code reads those <init-param> values and configures your
DataSource? Go read that code and see whether it cares about the trust
store and other parameters you are trying to send it.

My Data Source.  It has worked for years as a 1521 based connection
configured in the web.xml.  I have the entire data source
configuration below.  Configured as 1521 without the additional
parameters of trustStore, trustStoreType & trustStorePassword.

Chris - that's why I'm here. :)  Why are my parameters that are set
specifically for the connection being ignored.  The non-SSL version of
this connection has worked in my web.xml for years.  It doesn't show
up as a data source when I run Probe or other management interfaces,
but it works for the application.

Tomcat doesn't configure JNDI DataSources in web.xml. What component
are you configuring, here?

This looks like you are trying to configure system properties from
within web.xml.

Your truststore is probably being ignored.

Yes, that's because these are system properties and not
servlet-context init-params which don't affect system properties.

I'd recommend against setting a JVM-wide trust store. It's cleaner and
safer if you configure each (type of) connection separately.
