Excerpt

You can connect to a running server through a SSL tunnel by specifying the location of the trusted keystore file to org.apache.geronimo.keyStoreTrustStorePasswordFile, especially when you connect to a Geronimo server with JCsonle.

The default SSL keystore of the Geronimo server is geronimo-default, which locates at /var/security/keystores/ directory.

Follow the instructions below to complete a SSL connection to the Geronimo server.

  1. Enable a system plug-in named org.apache.geronimo.framework/jmx-security//car using start sub-command or via the administrative console on the server.
  2. Create a key file containing the password pairs used to connect to the server, which will be like:

    Panel
    borderStyledashed
    titlekeystorePasswordfile.key

    keyStorePassword=secret
    trustStorePassword=secret

    Where secret is the default password of keystore geronimo-default in the server. For better security, use encrypt sub-command to encrypt the plain text password in the file. By default, the content of keystorePasswordfile.key file is from /var/config/config-substitutions.properties file.
  3. Save the file to your preferred location such as myDir and then export the location of keystorePasswordfile.key file to org.apache.geronimo.keyStoreTrustStorePasswordFile.
    indent
    0
    0
    * On a Linux system {panel:borderStyle=dashed}
    export JAVA_OPTS="-Dorg.apache.geronimo.keyStoreTrustStorePasswordFile=$_myDir_/KeystoreTrustSotrePasswordFile.key"
    {panel}
    
    indent
    0
    0
    * On a Windows system {panel:borderStyle=dashed}
    set JAVA_OPTS="-Dorg.apache.geronimo.keyStoreTrustStorePasswordFile=%_myDir_%/KeystoreTrustSotrePasswordFile.key"
    {panel}
  4. Initiate a connecting request to the server via SSL, then you will see the connection is successfully acquired. For example, using available commands on the server that support --secure option.
