Hello,
This has been written some other thread. Is it possible to get mingle going with https?
I am using mingle on my home machine, and when I open a port to outside world, I always get lots of connections from all over the world. Jetty does indeed support ssl, and I have looked at the rails code for mingle and there seems to be some support for https.

Since it is my home machine, I dont feel secure about leaving an app open to outside world. I guess if it is too diffucult to configure jetty – mingle to use https, I could use stunnel, or reverse proxy with apache – but that is not really desired.

Any ideas/recomendations/help greatly appreciated.

Best Regards,

I am answering my own question, perhaps it will help others, and I also would like feedback – it works with ssl now, but I could have made something wrong.

step 1. make a directory named etc under the dir you installed mingle
step 2. run the command “keytool -keystore keystore -alias jetty -genkey -keyalg RSA” which will generate a file called keystore under etc dir.
step 3. add the following segment in jetty.xml

delete the original segment that has the addConnector.

the OBF:somecode is protected password. to obtain the protected password:

run the command

java -classpath ./vendor/java/jetty-util-6.1.5.jar:./vendor/java/jetty-plus-6.1.5.jar:./vendor/java/jetty-6.1.5.jar org.mortbay.jetty.security.Password

use mingle as username and the same password you used generating the keystore. at step 1.

this configuration seems to be working but I am not sure about the side effects.

Best Regards.

Anyone been successful with this? I got thru it, but am getting an “Invalid keystore format” when Mingle is running….
