[Play 1.2.5] HTTPS - failed to initialize server side ssl context

[Jeroen Van de Sande]

Hi

I'm trying to enable https in my play application. I've follewed the documentation and added the next lines to my application.conf;

https.port=9443 

# X509 certificates 

certificate.key.file=conf/host.key

certificate.file=conf/host.cert

# In case your key file is password protected 

certificate.password=secret 

With both the key and cert file present in the conf folder. However when I rerun play and go to https://localhost:9443/ I get the following exception on my console:

Adding a line for http (http.port=9000) doesn't seems to make a difference.

I completly followed the documentation and read other threads with the same problem, but I can't seem to fix this problem, even with all parameters set. the weirdest thing is that play looks for a jks keystore where it shouldn't do this as far as I understand?

Hi, i see this line in the stack trace:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Users\j\demo\conf\certificate.jks

Does this file exist?

[Jeroen Van de Sande]

Hi,

No this file is not present, scince I never said it had to look for a jks file and only specified a certificate and key file I (which is ok in the documentation) I would geuss it isn't needed to have both a certificate and a keystore.
