Using SSL
You can configure QuarkXPress Server with different security options. In addition to your
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:
1
Open the "conf" folder in your QuarkXPress Server folder.
2
Open "server.xml" in a text-editing application.
3
Locate the following tag (preceded by the comment <!-- Define a non-SSL 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="61399" acceptCount="100" connectionTimeout="20000"
disableUploadTimeout="true" URIEncoding="UTF-8"/>
