Setting up SSL (HTTPS)
By Default Owl has plain HTTP enabled for testing. When you are ready to enable SSL for the web application you can set the following environment variables in owl-env.sh to enable HTTPS.
The settings listed at the bottom of this page will disable un-secure HTTP, enable secure HTTPS, and allow you to point to your certificate key store + credentials. *A restart of the web-application is required.
Before starting please have an accessible key store.
You can call Owl's built in 256-bit encryption for the SERVER_SSL_KEY_PASS value from the bin directory: ./owlmanage.sh encrypt=<sensitive plain text string>
Use the response value instead of the plain text value to secure your password.
*Dont forget to restart the web application from the bin directory: ./owlmanage.sh restart=owlweb
