How to enable HTTPS on a local test server?

[alekse...@gmail.com]

Good day!

We're configuring our local server for testing purpose, it works OK for HTTP but it shows an error when trying to access it with HTTPS, the error message as below:

...

This site can't provide a secure connection

192.168.xxx.xxx sent an invalid response.

ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR

...

Is there any information how to enable HTTPS for the local test server?

Hi Aleksey,

There are a few ways of doing this- you can deploy a WAR file to a Tomcat instance that has HTTP enabled as one way. See their documentation on how to do this: https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.5-doc/ssl-howto.html

The way I usually do it these days is to put a nginx reverse proxy in front of it and set up HTTPS there. This tutorial isn't HAPI specific. but has some instructions about our usual setup with Linux/Postgres/nginx and using Letsencrypt to get a certificate for it: https://smilecdr.com/docs/current/getting_started/preparing_a_linux_host.html

Cheers,

James
