  To run CommzGate on HTTPS, you have to edit the following configuration file:

  <COMMZGATE Installation Directory>/apache-tomcat/conf/server.xml  for Linux

  or

  <COMMZGATE Installation Folder>\apache-tomcat\conf\commzgate.keystore"  for Windows

   

  Look for the following section and uncomment this section:

  <!--
  
  <Connector port="8443" protocol="HTTP/1.1" SSLEnabled="true"
  maxThreads="150" scheme="https" secure="true"
  clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS"
  keystoreFile="/usr/local/commzgate/apache-tomcat/conf/**commzgate.keystore**"
  keystorePass="commzgate" />
  
  -->

   

  "/usr/local/commzgate/apache-tomcat/conf/commzgate.keystore" is a dummy location which you should change to point to your own Java keystore location.

  You can install either a self-signed SSL certificate or a full-fledge SSL certificate in your keystore. More info on how to create a Java keystore with a self-signed certificate can be found here:

  After making the change in the configuration, restart the Tomcat service using:

   ./commzgate_server restart  for Linux

  or for Windows, restart the COMMZGATE5-Server process in the Windows Services control panel
