Overview

This document describes how to install an SSL certificate on a GlassFish server.
Description
The certificate name cloud.tencent.com is used as an example.
The glassfish-4.0 version is used as an example.
The current server OS is CentOS 7. Detailed steps vary slightly by OS.
Before you install an SSL certificate, enable port 443 on the GlassFish server so that HTTPS can be enabled after the certificate is installed. For more information, see How Do I Enable Port 443 for a VM?.
For detailed directions on how to upload SSL certificate files to a server, see Copying Local Files to CVMs.

Prerequisites

A remote file copy tool such as WinSCP has been installed. Download the latest version from the official website. We recommend that you use CVM's file upload feature for deployment to CVM.
A remote login tool such as PuTTY or Xshell has been installed. Download the latest version from the official website.
The GlassFish service has been installed and configured on the current server.
The data required to install the SSL certificate includes:
Name
Description
Server IP address
IP address of the server, which is used to connect the PC to the server.
Username
The username used to log in to the server.
Password
The password used to log in to the server.
Notes
For a CVM instance purchased on the Tencent Cloud official website, log in to the CVM console to get the server IP address, username, and password.
If you have selected the By pasting method when applying for the SSL certificate, or your certificate brand is WoTrus, the Tomcat option to download the .pfx or .jks certificate file is not provided. Instead, you need to manually convert the format to generate a keystore as follows:
Access the conversion tool.
Upload the certificate and private key files in the Nginx folder to the conversion tool, enter the keystore password, click Submit, and convert the certificate to a .jks certificate.
The GlassFish service is installed in the /usr/share directory.

Directions

1. Log in to the SSL Certificate Service console and click Download for the certificate you need to install.
2. In the pop-up window, select Apache and JKS for the server type, click Download, and decompress the cloud.tencent.com certificate file package to a local directory. After decompression, you can get the certificate files of the corresponding types, which include the cloud.tencent.com_apache and cloud.tencent.com_jks folders.
Folder: cloud.tencent.com_apache
cloud.tencent.com.crt: Certificate file
cloud.tencent.com.key: Private key file
CSR file: cloud.tencent.com.csr file
Description
You can upload the CSR file when applying for a certificate or have it generated online by the system. It is provided to the CA and irrelevant to the installation.
3. Remotely log in to the GlassFish server.
4. Go to the /usr/share/glassfish4/glassfish/bin directory, run the ./asadmin command, and run the change-master-password --savemasterpassword=true domain1 command to change the domain administrator password as shown below:
Notes
The default installation directory of the domain1 service is /usr/share/glassfish4/glassfish/domains. Enter the domain according to the actual situation.
The default password is changeit. Press Enter and enter the new password, which should be the private key password you set when applying for the certificate.
If you haven't set a private key password when applying for the certificate, enter the password in the keystorePass.txt file in the cloud.tencent.com_jks folder.
5. In the /usr/share directory, run the mkdir temp command to create the temp folder.
6. Use WinSCP (a tool for copying files between a local computer and a remote computer) to log in to the GlassFish server. Then, copy the certificate file cloud.tencent.com.crt and the private key file cloud.tencent.com.key from the local directory to the temp folder.
Description
For detailed directions, see Uploading files via WinSCP to a Linux CVM from Windows.
We recommend that you use CVM's file upload feature for deployment to CVM.
7. In the temp folder, run the following command to generate the PKCS12 file. When the system prompts you for a password during the process, enter the new password, which is the private key password.
openssl pkcs12 -export -in cloud.tencent.com.crt -inkey cloud.tencent.com.key -out mycert.p12 -name s1as
8. In the temp folder, run the ls -l command to check whether the PKCS12 file contains the certificate you applied for.
9. In the temp folder, run the following command to generate the keystore.jks file:
keytool -importkeystore -destkeystore keystore.jks -srckeystore mycert.p12 -srcstoretype PKCS12 -alias s1as
10. In the temp folder, run the following command to generate the cacert.jks file. When the system prompts you for a password during this process, enter the new password, which is the private key password.
keytool -importcert -trustcacerts -destkeystore cacerts.jks -file cloud.tencent.com.crt -alias s1as
If the system asks whether to trust the certificate, enter yes as shown in the following figure.

11. Replace the keystore.jks and cacert.jks files in the domain1/config directory with the files generated in steps 9 and 10.
12. In the /usr/share/glassfish4/glassfish/domains/domain1/config directory, change the port numbers in the domain.xml file.
<network-listeners>
      <network-listener port="80" protocol="http-listener-1" transport="tcp" name="http-listener-1" thread-pool="http-thread-pool"></network-listener>
      <network-listener port="443" protocol="http-listener-2" transport="tcp" name="http-listener-2" thread-pool="http-thread-pool"></network-listener>
      <network-listener port="4848" protocol="admin-listener" transport="tcp" name="admin-listener" thread-pool="admin-thread-pool"></network-listener>
    </network-listeners>
13. Start the GlassFish server and then you can access it through https://cloud.tencent.com.

If the security lock icon is displayed in the browser, the certificate has been installed successfully.
In case of a website access exception, troubleshoot the issue by referring to the following FAQs:
Website Inaccessible After an SSL Certificate is Deployed
"Your Connection is Not Secure" is Displayed After the SSL Certificate is Installed
Why Does the Website Prompt "Connection Is Untrusted"?
What Should I Do If I Am Prompted That HTTPS Is Not Secure After Reapplying for Deployment upon Expiration of the SSL Certificate?
