Axis with HTTPS : What do I have to make ?

["Petese Fabienne (CSE)" <fa...@cse.ch>]

Hello,
 
I want to install a WebService on a HTTPS Server.
 
I don't want client authentification. I just want to use the SSL encryption.
 
What do I have to make ?
 
Need I special .jars ?
 
Thanks
 
Fabienne

1) On client-side java code, add to the beginning (modify the paths and 
password to fit your environment):

System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore", "C:/Program Files/Apache 
Software Foundation/Tomcat 5.0/conf/ssl/client/client_truststore/cacerts");
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword", "password");
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStore", "C:/Program Files/Apache 
Software Foundation/Tomcat 5.0/conf/ssl/client/client_keystore/keystore");
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword", "password");

2) On web server's tomcat server.xml (Set clientAuth="true" and modify 
paths to fit your environment):

<!-- Define a SSL Coyote HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8443 -->
<Connector port="8443"
    maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
    enableLookups="false" disableUploadTimeout="true"
    acceptCount="100" debug="0" scheme="https" secure="true"
    clientAuth="true" sslProtocol="TLS"
    keystoreFile="C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 
5.0\conf\ssl\server\server_keystore\keystore"
    keystorePass="password"
    truststoreFile="C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 
5.0\conf\ssl\server\server_truststore\cacerts"
    truststorePass="password" />


3) On client (client-side tomcat) tomcat-users.xml, add the line (change 
"<Common Name>" to fit your environment):

<user username="<Common Name>" password="password" roles="admin,manager" 
/>

No changes are needed, just configure your server for https, how to do 
that depends on your server.
On the client just change the url from http:// to https:// and that 
should be it.
