Configuring the Build Forge system to use SSL and HTTPS increases
the security of the system. SSL includes endpoint authentication and data
encryption.
By default the Build Forge system does not use SSL. You must configure
the Management Console. If you have the Quick Report option, you also configure
Apache Tomcat and Quick Report. The following list shows a summary of the
tasks you perform:
- Management Console
- Replace the Apache web server with a version that includes OpenSSL
- Configure the Apache web server to use OpenSSL. This step requires that
you recompile the binaries.
- Create self-signed certificates.
- Tomcat Server (if Quick Report is installed)
- Verify that $JAVA_HOME points to the JDK on the Management Console host.
- Create a keystore and self-signed certificate.
- Enable and configure the SSL connector element in server.xml.
- Quick Report (if Quick Report is installed)
- On a running Build Forge system, use Management Console to change Quick
Report settings. Use.
