We recently changed from using standalone Tomcat 8 containers to using the embedded Tomcat 8 container. We are having some trouble getting SSL to work on Grails 3.1.6 with the embedded container. We had been using the certificateFile approach with APR Native Libraries with the standalone container. We would like to keep this approach with the embedded Tomcat instead of changing to the keystore approach. I tried the Grails documentation, went deep into the Spring Boot embedded container documentation, but haven't found a working solution yet.
I tried many different configuration approaches in the application.yml. Based on several different pieces of documentation, sources, etc. my latest attempt was:
environments:
test:
grails:
server:
port: 8443
ssl:
enabled: true
certificateKeyFile: '/usr/share/app/my_domain_net.key'
certificateFile: '/usr/share/app/my_domain_net.crt'
certificateChainFile: '/usr/share/app/myCA.crt'
serverURL: "https://test.mydomain.net:8443"
tomcat:
port: 8443
ssl:
enabled: true
certificateKeyFile: '/usr/share/app/my_domain_net.key'
certificateFile: '/usr/share/app/my_domain_net.crt'
certificateChainFile: '/usr/share/app/myCA.crt'
I also tried adding this to the end of the application.yml:
server:
port: 8443
ssl:
enabled: true
certificateKeyFile: '/usr/share/app/my_domain_net.key'
certificateFile: '/usr/share/app/my_domain_net.crt'
certificateChainFile: '/usr/share/app/myCA.crt'
but this gave me a 'resource location may not be null' error. Most examples and questions I see are quite dated at this point. Time to ask a fresh question on stackoverflow. Thanks in advance!
