HTTPS/SSL Configuration Failed & Cannot Revert Back to HTTP

Q&A
1

Dears,

I would need a bit of help with SSL configuration on Bonita please. I try to follow the documentation here: https://documentation.bonitasoft.com/bonita/7.10/ssl

But unfortunately, in my case, the pre-requisites does not fully apply: the bundle has already been started few months ago and I have the system running in HTTP since that time.

After completing the step to allow SSL, and set up my web server and firewall in order to accept SSL connections, I got the following error "server_IP unexpectedly closed the connection."

Due to it was not working, I have restored the default configuration (I mean removing the added lines in the config files script) and restart Tomcat. However, now HTTP connection fail also (error: took too long to respond).

So, can you please kindly support on:

1- What is the workaround to set up HTTPS with a bundle already started? I have too many connections and script running on the server and I would be very grateful if I could do it without having to reinstall bonita...

2- In the worst case, if it not possible, how to restore the HTTP connection enabling as it was? Is there an additional command to enter, besides removing the script int he conf files?

PS: I am using Ubuntu 18,04, Tomcat Bundle, Bonita 7.10. Web server in nginx.

Thanks very much in advance.

Tim

Hi,

The documentation page is a little bit outdated regarding bundle structure.

In current bundle version, customization of Tomcat configuration need to be applied to files located in setup/tomcat-templates/ Those files are templates that will be customized and copied to server/conf/ folder.

Also if that does not solved your issue can you share both Bonita and Tomcat log files?

If you can also explain what is the usage of nginx in your setup?
