Java Secure Webservice

  • 772

(I am reposting this question from stackoverflow. If there is some way that I can join the questions or just move the question please let me know. Thanks.)

I am attempting to convert a http webservice to https. I added the tags to the webservice.

@SecurityDomain(value = "jbossws-ssl")

and

@WebContext(contextRoot="/common/ws",  // already here
 urlPattern="/A2",   // already here
    authMethod = "CLIENT-CERT",  // added
    transportGuarantee = "CONFIDENTIAL") // added

But when my client trys to connect to https://host:80/path/to/ws I get an exception:

Caused by: java.io.IOException: HTTPS hostname wrong: should be <host>.

( entire thing shown below). I suspect that this has to do with the certificate that is being used. I think that I need to use the java keytool to resolve this. If someone could verify for me it would be greatly appreciated.

Update 1

I tried the following but it had no effect on the exception:

host[user:/path][525]% keytool -genkey -keystore server.keystore -alias host
...
...

Update 2

Actually not sure what I did in Update 1 was right because I did not have to specify a host name there...

    the error message is complaining about your port. http normally runs on port 80 and https on port 443. you are trying to use https on port 80. change your call from

    https://sco-up:80/path/to/ws

    to

    https://sco-up/path/to/ws

    this will automatically use port 443 for the https connection.
