Anybody have experience getting a web app to allow SSL connections? I found the tutorial from 2014.
I opened up the port (8081) on my server’s firewall.
I grabbed the cert from my apache install and copied it next to the web app’s executable.
I launch the web app with flags: --secureport=8081 --maxsecuresockets=400 --logging
And my web browsers just say they can’t connect; the connection is immediately terminated.
I then tried to make my own self-signed cert. Moved it next to the web app executable. Same deal.
Chrome’s response:
This site cant be reached
The connection was reset.
Safari’s response:
Safari can’t establish a secure connection to the server …
The “apache style logging” shows no connection attempt.
Server is 64-bit CentOS.
IDE: 2017r3
As a sanity check I made a console app and listened on port 8081 for secure connections. The browsers timed out; the connection wasn’t immediately dropped.
