Exactly .. this is part of the solution. I am having tomcat behave smartly in response to the certificate validation, and I have a nice path to develop some cool tools, similar to HTTPD, around certbot (I love that this is a free service, but I do have some concerns over centralized CSA, so I do

I manage dozens of contexts/domains using loosely coupled code. Chris - of course it's amazing. I would also call it super and profound. :) I am in the middle of some TI at our office today .. can't really stop to do this. I have the code used to identify and validate the certbot requests and

I would have the opposite feeling. I would not want a java process parked out in the internet. Not saying you're wrong just my personal feeling. Maybe things have shifted in a different direction over the year. I do agree that something like that would be helpful to other tomcat admins.

I have a really nice process that works great with certbot. Single command to renew all of my certs and I'm finished. I get some piece of mind having a Java process guarding the front door. Seems to be more impervious to overflows. What am I missing? I think what I have might be easily

We do the same - via mod_jk we utilize apache httpd to handle the SSL. Keeps things simple and works well. John Larsen On Wed, Apr 17, 2019 at 7:44 AM TurboChargedDad . wrote: > We terminated SSL above the tomcat layer using NGINX or Apache to avoid > the complexities that come with managing

We terminated SSL above the tomcat layer using NGINX or Apache to avoid the complexities that come with managing a JKS. I want to hear all I can on this subject.
