Question about setting up SSL certificate
Posted on 2012-12-29
I have an ssl certificate for a domain (let's say www.blap.com) and I want to try to set it up on a tomcat instance on an local server for testing purposes. Can I trick tomcat and the browser into accepting the ssl certificate by adding www.blap.com to the hosts file on the local server?

If you have *any* ssl certificate, then tomcat will accept that without any further adjustment - so the server side is fine. Importing the key into the tomcat JKS file (or if you are fronting tomcat via apache, supplying the pem encoded files for apache) is a different question of course, but plenty of web references for that.
To avoid any browser side warnings though, you must have set the IP of the server in your hosts file *on the client* and further, must have accessed the tomcat server via that dns name not via its IP (alternatively, you must arrange for the DNS supplied to the client to give that IP in response to that domain; sometimes easier to do if you control the local environment)
