how to enable secure tcp socket connection on server side in Akka

[Gaurav Kumar Jayswal]

In Mina Simply I have added by this. 

private static void addSSLSupport(DefaultIoFilterChainBuilder chain) throws Exception {
   SslFilter sslFilter = new SslFilter(new SSLContextGenerator().getSslContext());
   chain.addFirst("sslFilter", sslFilter);
}

Can anyone let me know how to add sslcontext in Akka tcp

Please refer to the documentation: 

http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/2.4.10/java/http/server-side-https-support.html#ssl-config-java

It has a nice search box which you can use to search for "SSL".

Thanks for you reply. I'm new in akka. I didn't get how to enable secure tcp chat server, while binding. Can you plz give some example code...

Tcp.get(getContext().system()).manager().tell(TcpMessage.bind(getSelf(), inetSocketAddress, 100), getSelf());

The library you’re looking for is Akka Streams, not bare Akka IO. Coming from Mina you might want to read http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/2.4/java/stream/stream-composition.html about how protocol pipelines are expressed.

Unfortunately I cannot seem to find the documentation section that contained the TLS example (nor the BidiFlow). Endre, has this been removed? We should definitely have docs for this use-case, HTTPS is not the only thing that uses TLS ;-)

Roland

Gaurav, as Roland wrote above, you cannot just "enable it" in current version of Akka. You need to combine a few components provided by akka-streams module to create an SSL-enabled client or server. 

Also, you will need to learn the concepts behind Akka Streams because they are very different than "plain" Akka actors. They are excellent tool and I think it's a good investment to learn and understand them.

Regarding the lack of example of akka.stream.scaladsl.TLS usage in documentation, noticed by Roland, I've filed an issue: https://github.com/akka/akka/issues/22071 Hopefully it was just misplaced.

Cheers,
Rafał

Thanks Rafał, Sure i'll go through Akka Stream...
