Set Secure Server Properties

Configure the CA GovernanceMinder Portal to use secure server properties. Edit common properties and property settings in the CA GovernanceMinder Portal to enable the secure URL (HTTPS) and delete the default port setting 8080.

Follow these steps:

  1. Log in to the CA GovernanceMinder Portal as an administrator.
  2. Go to Administration, Settings, Common Property Settings.
  3. Open the common property statisticalService.url, and perform the following steps:
    1. In the Property Value field, make the URL secure by replacing http with https and delete the default port setting by removing :8080.

      The property now has the following value:

      https://localhost/eurekify/services/sageStatisticalService
      
    2. In the Type field select Database Property, and click Save.
  4. Repeat Step 3 for each of the following common properties:

    The common property settings are set for the secure server.

  5. Go to Administration, Settings, Property Settings.
  6. Repeat Step 3 for each of the following property settings:

    The property settings are set for the secure server.

(Optional) Activate SSL on Cluster Nodes

If you have a cluster deployment, enable each node in your JBoss cluster to use SSL communication. To activate SSL on cluster nodes, copy your digital certificate to each node and import the certificate to the keystore of that node.

Follow these steps:

  1. On the computer where your reference installation is located, browse to the following directory:
    %JAVA_HOME%\jre\lib\security\cacerts
    
  2. Copy the example.cer file to a node in your JBoss cluster.
  3. On the node, double-click the example.cer file to import the certificate, and follow the steps in the wizard that opens.
  4. On the node, set the keystore path to the following path:
    C:\jboss-5.1.0GA\server\all\conf\server
    
  5. Repeat steps 1–4 for each node on your JBoss cluster.

    You have exported the certificate to each cluster node.

SSL communication is now active in your CA GovernanceMinder cluster deployment.
