Open the “ServerApp.properties” file (in the “conf” folder) and enter the port7.
number from step 5 for qxpswebserver.port.
This change means QuarkXPress Server client applications can use HTTPS. For
example, the URL for a QuarkXPress Server user would be as follows:
https://[server name]:[port]/.
Enabling HTTP and HTTPS
To enable HTTP and HTTPS:
Open the “conf” folder in your QuarkXPress Server folder.1.
Open “server.xml” in a text-editing application.2.
Uncomment the following tag:3.
<Connector port=”61399”
maxHttpHeaderSize=”8192”MaxThreads=”150” minSpareThreads=”25”
maxSpareThreads=”75”enableLookups=”false”
disableUploadTimeout=”true”acceptCount=”100” scheme=”https”
secure=”true”clientAuth=”false” sslProt ocol=”TLS” />
Save and close “server.xml.”4.
This feature allows QuarkXPress Server application users to access QuarkXPress
Server with HTTPS or HTTP.

Keystores and SSL certificates
A certificate is a file on a Web server that is used in encryption and confirmation
between two endpoints to establish a secure connection. A keystore is essentially a
database of digital certificates on the Web server.
You can obtain an SSL certificate from a trusted Certificate Authority (CA). Import
the certificate into the keystore used by QuarkXPress Server’s JVM.
