[Building Sakai] ssl for webservices?

[Gregory Guthrie]

Thanks, but we do not have any load-balancing setup for our local server.

If I just try a simple local REST query  ( http://mysite/direct/site.xml ) it works, but changing to https fails. ("Firefox cannot establish a connection to the server")

I noticed that the https connector was not enabled in server.xml, so I uncommented that, but then it fails on startup - apparently there is more required for SSL setup (need to create a keystore, etc.).

Am I missing something here? :-)

Web services over HTTPS should work fine.  Any issues are probably a sign of a mis-configured load balancer setup where Tomcat believes it is operating over HTTP not HTTPS.

I found that using the examples of webservice logins (from Python) that I had to change it from HTTPS to HTTP, and then it all worked fine.
 Is there any simple or standard way to enable SSL remote usage of the webservices, especially for authentication like this?
(Or should it have worked "out of the box"?)
