Enabling HTTPS on an Application Server using Keytool

Overview This guide explains how to configure HTTPS (SSL/TLS) for an application server using a certificate issued by a Certificate Authority (CA) and the Java keytool utility. The process includes: 1) Creating a keystore and generating a private key 2) Generating a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) 3) Importing signed certificates from the Certificate Authority 4) Configuring the application server to use the keystore 5) Testing the HTTPS connection ⚠️ The exact configuration of the application server may vary depending on the server software being used. Always verify SSL configuration compatibility with your specific application server. 1. Create a Keystore and Private Key Use the Java keytool utility to create a keystore and generate a key pair. keytool -genkeypair -alias <key_alias> -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -keystore <keystore_file> -validity 365 Paramaters explanation Parameter Description -genkeypair Creates a new key pair (private key + self-signed certificate). -alias <key_ali
