[sadakar]

Dear Team,

What is keystroke file & how to generate it & make it work with Jasper server to make it secure ?

It's not a jasperserver problem, but a tomcat setting.

Example on Windows and tomcat 6:

Edit server.xlm (ex. Program Filesjasperreports-server-proapache-tomcatconfserver.xml)
and uncomment or insert


    <!-- Define a SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8443 -->

    <Connector protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol"
               port="8443" SSLEnabled="true"
               maxThreads="150" scheme="https" secure="true"
               clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" />

(8443 is the port for SSL; I don't think you can use 8080 if it's used as normal HHTP port)


set the tomcat service to be started using a defined user.

exec keytool.exe -genkey -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA (ex. Program FilesJavajre6binkeytool.exe)

using "changeit" as password


this will create a .keystore file that you must copy in home directory of the user starting the tomcat service (ex. Documents and Settingstomcat)

restart tomcat service

Thank you.

 

How to do it in Cent OS or linux for the last point ?

(this will create a .keystore file that you must copy in home directory of the user starting the tomcat service (ex. Documents and Settingstomcat))

 

home directory of tomcat ?? Is it not the home of jasper tomcat where we can find startup.bat file ? Or should it be Documents and Settingstomcat ?

 

Thank you.

In linux, I think you can copy .keystore in root home, as probably you will start tomcat server as root

http means transfer user requests & server responses (resources) over the internet.

https do same things as http does and additionally, it applies encryption on data that is being transmitted over insecure internet.
