Establishing Server Connection for HTTPS

Perform the following procedure to establish server connection for HTTPS.

  1. Open the server.xml file in a text or XML editor. The server.xml file is found in the drive where Tomcat is installed. Typically it is found in the location: C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat x.0\conf\server.xml
  2. In the server.xml file, enter the following lines under the section <service name =”Catalina”>: <Connector port="8443" protocol="HTTP/1.1" SSLEnabled="true" maxThreads="150" scheme="https" secure="true" clientAuth="false"keystorePass="<password for certificate>" sslProtocol="TLS" />
  3. Enter the password used for creating certificates under the attribute <password for certificate>.
  4. Save and close the server.xml file.
  5. Open the struts-config.xml file. For Tomcat, you can find the struts-config.xml file in the \I4V\WEB-INF subfolder of your Tomcat installation directory.
  6. Locate the following section: <controller> <set-property property="nocache" value="false"/> <set-property property="locale" value="true"/> </controller>
  7. If the value of the nocache attribute is true, set it to false.
  8. Save and close the struts-config.xml file.
