[Exist-development] Enable HTTPS for stand-alone deployment

[Thomas Mo <tm...@cm...>]

Hi,

I am having problem starting exist-db as a stand-alone server on HTTPS port
8488. What I did was edit the eXist/server.xml file:
- commented out the default line "<listener protocol="http" port="8088"/>"
- uncomment the HTTPS configuration:
  <listener protocol="https" port="8488">
        <param name="keystore"
value="E:/eXist/tools/jetty/etc/demokeystore"/>
  </listener>
- build a demo keystore by running $EXIST_HOME/build.sh jetty-keygen
- start exist using server.bat

But I am getting the following exceptions:

Any suggestion?

Does exist stand-alone supports HTTPS?

Thanks,
