Securing the WebProtege login window using SSL


WebProtege uses a form of client-side encryption for the http login configured by default. To use the more secure SSL login in Tomcat, start by enabling the https property in your protege.properties file.

Help us evaluate WebProtege by taking a 3-minute survey.


Generate a Key

If you do not have a signed certificate from a certifying authority, you will need to generate a dummy certificate that webprotege can use. Enter a password value of webprotege when prompted, and be sure to keep a record of where you save the keystore to.

windows:

%JAVA_HOME%\bin\keytool -genkey -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA -keystore \path\to\my\keystore

unix:

$JAVA_HOME/bin/keytool -genkey -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA -keystore /path/to/my/keystore

Configure Tomcat to Use HTTPS

For Tomcat to use https, some additional configuration is required.

Edit the server.xml

Now begin editing your server.xml file at $TOMCAT_HOME/conf:

<-- Define a SSL Coyote HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8443 --> <Connector port="443" protocol="HTTP/1.1" SSLEnabled="true" 

              maxThreads="150" scheme="https" secure="true"
              clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" keystoreFile="/path/to/my/keystore/.keystore" keystorePass="webprotege"/>
