Hello,

I am new to Magnolia and have been working on this too. I would also be very interested in any Magnolia specific documentation concerning SSL.

I'll post a 'How to.." document as soon as I have all the answers.

Until then, I have started here /magnolia-2/tomcat/conf/server.xml


Hope this helps point you in the right direction.


<!-- A "Connector" represents an endpoint by which requests are received and responses are returned. Each Connector passes requests on to the
         associated "Container" (normally an Engine) for processing.

By default, a non-SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector is established on port 8080.
         You can also enable an SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8443 by
following the instructions below and uncommenting the second Connector entry. SSL support requires the following steps (see the SSL Config
         HOWTO in the Tomcat 5 documentation bundle for more detailed
         instructions):
* If your JDK version 1.3 or prior, download and install JSSE 1.0.2 or
           later, and put the JAR files into "$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext".
         * Execute:
%JAVA_HOME%\bin\keytool -genkey -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA (Windows) $JAVA_HOME/bin/keytool -genkey -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA (Unix) with a password value of "changeit" for both the certificate and
           the keystore itself.

By default, DNS lookups are enabled when a web application calls
         request.getRemoteHost().  This can have an adverse impact on
         performance, so you can disable it by setting the
"enableLookups" attribute to "false". When DNS lookups are disabled,
         request.getRemoteHost() will return the String version of the
         IP address of the remote client.
    -->
