5. SSL
To use SSL for the login process, change in the plugin section of
struts-config.xml the port numbers needed for you environment:
<plug-in className="org.apache.struts.action.SecurePlugIn">
<set-property property="httpPort" value="80"/>
<set-property property="httpsPort" value="443"/>
<set-property property="enable" value="true"/>
<set-property property="addSession" value="true"/>
</plug-in>
Set also all existing entries in struts-config.xml with
<set-property property="secure" value="false"/> to <set-property property="secure" value="true"/>
Configure Tomcat's server.xml with an additional connector like this:
<Connector port="443" protocol="HTTP/1.1" SSLEnabled="true"
maxThreads="150" scheme="https" secure="true"
clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS"
keystoreFile="/path/to/tomcatkeystore"
keystorePass="mySecretPassword" URIEncoding="UTF-8" />
Make sure to use URIEncoding="UTF-8"! And of course you need a valid keystore...
