Securing both tomcat and SSL websites listed in server app

[bkennedy]

Hello,

Im wondering if anybody secures their SSL sites listed in the server app as well the tomcat instance. If you do, have you had any trouble with the site taking a 3rd party cert?

Thanks,

Brian

@bkennedy, I do & haven't had any issues.

BUT I normal connect a second nw cable to the server or create a second network interface in System Preferences (like a Virtual NIC).

This 2nd NIC would then have it's own IP & DNS would resolve to it, something like jss.company.com.

I then, in server.app put in a redirect from jss.mycompany.com to https://jss.company.com:9443/

The original NIC can then user the servers cert for SSL, & the second the JSS's tomcat cert.

Thanks bentoms! I will see about getting an additional IP from our Network team and try things like you have them.
