If you want to access Adeptia Connect on HTTPS protocol then you need to configure SSL certificate in Adeptia Connect. You need to generate SSL certificate using Java Keytool only. 

...

To generate SSL certificate:

1. Open Command PromptOpen Terminal.
2. Go to the directory where JRE is installed (for example, /mnt/AdeptiaConnect/AdeptiaConnect-2.9/ConnectServer/jre/bin)

3. Run the following Keytool command to create a Keystore for Jetty with a self signed certificate or CA signed certificate.

   title For self signed certificate
   keytool -genkey -keyalg <keyalg> -alias <alias_name> -keystore <keystore_name> -storepass <password> -validity <days> -keysize <keysize> -ext SAN=ip:<IP_Address_of_Connect_Server_machine>,dns:<domain_name> where, <keyalg> specifies the algorithm to be used to generate a key pair. <alias_name> is a unique string to identify the Keystore. <keystore_name> is the location and filename where you want to store the generated key. <password> is the password to protect the private key of the generated key pair, default is changeit. <days> are the number of days certificate will expire. <keysize> specifies the size of each key to be generated. <IP_Address_of_Connect_Server_machine> is the IP address hosting Connect Server. <domain_name> is the name of the domain you are using. It is not necessary to use the domain name in the command above. However, for easy identification, it is recommended to use the domain name. For example, keytool -genkey -keyalg RSA -alias selfsigncert -keystore certs.jks -storepass changeit -validity 365 -keysize 2048 -ext SAN=ip:10.44.2.59 keytool -genkey -keyalg RSA -alias selfsigncert -keystore certs.jks -storepass changeit -validity 365 -keysize 2048 -ext dns:localhost

   To generate SSL certificate for Jetty with a CA signed certificate: Generate Keystore keytool -genkey -keyalg <keyalg> -alias <alias_name> -keystore <keystore_name> -storepass <password> -validity <days> -keysize <keysize> where,            <keyalg> specifies the algorithm to be used to generate a key pair. <alias_name> is a unique string to identify the Keystore. <keystore_name> is the location and filename where you want to store the generated key. <password> is the password to protect the private key of the generated key pair, default is changeit. <days> are the number of days certificate will expire. <keysize> specifies the size of each key to be generated. For example, keytool -genkey -keyalg RSA -alias server -keystore certs.jks -storepass changeit -validity 365 -keysize 2048 If you are using multiple domain names for the same certificate then you need to use SAN (Subject Alternative Name) while generating Keystore. keytool -genkey -keyalg <keyalg> -alias <alias_name> -keystore <keystore_name> -storepass <password> -validity <days> -keysize <keysize> -ext SAN=ip:<IP_Address_of_Connect_Server_machine> where <IP_Address_of_Connect_Server_machine> is the IP address hosting Adeptia Suite. Generate CSR from the generated Keystore Run the following Keytool command to create a Certificate Signing Request (CSR). keytool -certreq -alias <alias_name> -file <domainname>.csr -keystore <keystore_name>.jks -storepass <password> This command will generate a <domainname>.csr file to sign from CA. If you are using multiple domain names for the same certificate then you need to use SAN (Subject Alternative Name) while generating CSR for the Keystore. keytool -certreq -alias server -file <domainname>.csr -keystore <keystore_name>.jks -storepass changeit -ext SAN=ip:<IP_Address_of_Connect_Server_machine> Info Send this CSR to your CA to generate SSL certificate. After your SSL certificate is generated, you need to import the certficate in the Java Keystore. Import CA Signed SSL Certificate into Java Keystore You might get multiple SSL certificates from your CA. You need to import all these SSL certificates into your Keystore. Ensure that you use the same Keystore that is used in generating CSR while importing SSL certificates. 1.   Import Trusted Root certificate into Java Keystore keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias root -file <certificate_name>.crt -keystore <domain_name>.jks 2.   Import Intermediate certificate into Java Keystore keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias intermediate -file <certificate_name>.crt -keystore <domain_name>.jks 3.   Import domain certificate into Java Keystore keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias server -file <certificate_name>.crt -keystore <domain_name>.jks        where,       <certificate_name> is the name of the CA certificate.       <domain_name> is the name of the domain you are using.

   Info
   While executing the command, you will be prompted to provide other details. The default password is changeit. You can change the password. Note the Keystore password for future references.

4. Copy this Keystore (certs.jks) at the location (<AdeptiaInstallFolder>/AdeptiaServer/ServerKernel/etc/jetty).
5. From the same folder location, open jetty.xml file and register the Keystore entry in the file. In the sslContextFactory section, add the path of the Keystore and the Keystore password (password chosen while creating Keystore).
   
   
   
   
6. Save the file.
7. Restart Connect Kernel and Connect WebRunner.

   Info
   While executing the command, you will be prompted to provide other details. The default password is changeit. You can change the password. Note the Keystore password for future references.

4. Go to the location where Connect Portal is installed (C:\Program Files\AdeptiaConnect\AdeptiaConnect-2.9\ConnectPortal). Create certs folder and copy the Keystore (certs.jks) in this folder.Copy this Keystore (certs.jks) at the location.
5. Go to …/<ConnectPortalInstallFolder>/conf and open server.xml in the Text Editor.
6. From the same folder location, open file and register the Keystore entry in the file. In the sslContextFactory section, add the path of the Keystore and the Keystore password (password chosen while creating Keystore).
7. Uncomment the following configuration section.
   
   
   
   
   
8. Provide the path of keystore:
   
   

   <Connector port="443" protocol="HTTP/1.1" SSLEnabled="true" maxThreads="5000" 
   scheme="https" secure="true" compressionMinSize="128" connectionTimeout="20000" 
   maxConnections="10000" clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" keystoreFile="C:\Program Files\AdeptiaConnect\AdeptiaConnect-2.9\ConnectPortal\certs\certs.jks" 
   keystoreType="JKS" keystorePass="XXXXXXXX" compression="on" noCompressionUserAgents="gozilla, 
   traviata" compressableMimeType="text/html,text/xml,text/css,application/javascript,application/json" 
   useSendfile="false" server="Adeptia" xpoweredby="false" clientauth="true"/>

    

9.  If the keystore password contains any of following characters then it needs to be escaped with the value mentioned next to it.

   Character	Value
   "	"
   '	'
   <	&lt;
   >	&gt;
   &	&amp;

   For example, if the keystore password is p@ssw0rd&123! then it has to be defined as p@ssw0rd&amp;123!

10. Save the file.
11. Restart Connect Portal.
