USING SSL
A GUIDE TO QUARKXPRESS SERVER 2017 | 399
Using SSL
You can configure QuarkXPress Server with different security options. In addition to
y
our own network security specifications, you can specify Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
protocol for client applications.
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) support
You can configure Tomcat (and therefore all QuarkXPress Server clients) to run in
secure mode with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology. This section explains the
configuration process.
It is also possible to run QuarkXPress Server without embedding Tomcat in the JVM.
For more information, see the QuarkXPress Server ReadMe file.
To manage Web applications in the QuarkXPress Server environment, QuarkXPress
Server embeds an instance of Apache Tomcat 6.18 in its JVM.
When you enable SSL, it applies to all QuarkXPress Server client applications.
Enabling SSL
The instructions below address two scenarios. The “server.xml” file you edit
contains XML tags for both scenarios, which you need to enable or disable by
“commenting” and “uncommenting” specific tags.
To enable SSL for secure HTTP for all QuarkXPress Server applications:
Open the “conf” folder in your QuarkXPress Server folder.
1.
Open “server.xml” in a text-editing application.2.
Locate the following tag (preceded by the comment <!— Define a non-SSL3.
HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8080 —>) and comment it out.
<Connector port=”8080” maxHttpHeaderSize=”8192”
maxThreads=”150” minSpareThreads=”25” maxSpareThreads=”75”
enableLookups=”false” redirectPort=”613 99” acceptCount=”100”
connectionTimeout=”20000” disableUpload Timeout=”t rue”
URIEncoding=”UTF-8”/>
Locate the following tag (preceded by the comment <!— Define a SSL4.
HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 61399 —>) and uncomment it.
<Connector port=”61399”
