How to enable SSL in TIBCO JasperReports® Server for AWS

SSL is not enabled out of the box for TIBCO JasperReports^® Server instances deployed on AWS. Since it's the user who owns and controls the server, it's not possible for Jaspersoft to provide a certificate ahead of time. However in terms of SSL, configuring AWS deployments is essentially the same as configuring deployments on premises.

You can enable SSL on Tomcat following the steps from our Security Guide:

or use the steps from Tomcat documentation:

https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/ssl-howto.html

You can also take it a little further and add an Apache webserver as a proxy to handle the SSL connection:
