Trying to enable Https in play framework

[newbiePlay]

I want to enable https in play in the dev mode.

I have done the following

1. generated the ssl certificates using open ssl and added certificates and key  to the conf folder of the play project

2.  app.conf looks like this

      play.crypto.secret = "changeme"

play.i18n.langs = [ "en" ]

include "securesocial.conf"

application.mode=dev

http.port=9000

https.port=9443

3. Securesocial.conf looks like this 

   securesocial {

onLoginGoTo=/

  onLogoutGoTo=/login

  

  ssl=true

  cookie {

    #name=id

    #path=/

    #domain=some_domain

    #httpOnly=true

    #idleTimeoutInMinutes=30

    #absoluteTimeoutInMinutes=720

  }

}

https://localhost:9443/ doesnt work 

Please help me out on this.

Hello!

HTTPS can't be configured via config file. Use "-Dhttps.port=9443" command line option.

HTTPS actually CAN be configured via config file (at least in Play 2.4).

In application.conf:

play.server.http.address=127.0.0.1

play.server.http.port=9000

play.server.https.address=127.0.0.1

play.server.https.port=9443

But be aware: This will only works in prod mode (deploying Play with "activator stage", "activator dist", etc.) but not in developing mode.

For developing mode you have to use "activator -Dhttp.port=9443" and "... -Dhttps.port=9443" on the command line like Maxim described.

Starting with Play 2.5 (not released yet) you will also be able to set the ports for development mode by adding

PlayKeys.devSettings := Seq("play.server.http.port" -> "9000")

PlayKeys.devSettings := Seq("play.server.https.port" -> "9443")

in your build.sbt (not the application.conf!)

See https://github.com/playframework/playframework/pull/5310

Conclusio: With Play 2.5 you will be able to set the production ports in application.conf and the development ports in build.sbt. For now you have to use the command line options for dev mode.
