Configures inbound or outbound SSL connections.


Can be used in:

serviceProxy, api, proxy, stompClient, httpClientConfig, stompProxy, registration, internal, membrane, bean and soapProxy

Syntax

<ssl
  [algorithm="..."]
  [protocol="..."]
  [ciphers="..."]
  [clientAuth="..."]>
  <keystore
	location="..." [password="..."]
	[type="..."] [provider="..."]
	[keyPassword="..."] [keyAlias="..."] >?
  <truststore
	location="..." [password="..."]
	[type="..."] [provider="..."]
	[algorithm="..."] >?
</ssl>

Sample

Inbound Sample

This example is taken from examples/ssl-server. It demonstrates how to configure inbound SSL.

<serviceProxy port="443">
  <ssl>
	<keystore
	  location="../../conf/membrane.jks"
	  password="secret" keyPassword="secret" />
	<truststore
	  location="../../conf/membrane.jks" password="secret" />
  </ssl>
  <wsdlRewriter protocol="https" />
  <target host="thomas-bayer.com" />
</serviceProxy>

Outbound Sample

This example is taken from examples/ssl-client. It demonstrates how to configure outbound SSL.

<serviceProxy port="8080">
  <path>/svn</path>
  <target host="predic8.com" port="443">
	<ssl />
  </target>
</serviceProxy>
