Locate the following tag (preceded by the comment <!-- Define a SSL HTTP/1.1
Connector on port 61399 -->) and uncomment it.
<Connector port="61399" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"MaxThreads="150"
minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"enableLookups="false"
disableUploadTimeout="true"acceptCount="100" scheme="https"
secure="true"clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" />
5
Replace 61399 with 61400 (or any port on which Tomcat will be listening for secure
connections).
6
Save and close "server.xml."
7
Open the "ServerApp.properties" file (in the "conf" folder) and enter the port 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:
1
Open the "conf" folder in your QuarkXPress Server folder.
2
Open "server.xml" in a text-editing application.
3
Uncomment the following tag:
<Connector port="61399" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"MaxThreads="150"
minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"enableLookups="false"
disableUploadTimeout="true"acceptCount="100" scheme="https"
secure="true"clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" />
4
Save and close "server.xml."
This feature allows QuarkXPress Server application users to access QuarkXPress Server with
HTTPS or HTTP.
Verifying and using SSL
To verify and use SSL:
1
Start the QuarkXPress Server
2
Test QuarkXPress Server access by navigating to the QuarkXPress Server Web interface
HTTPS. For example: https://[server]:[port]/qxpsadmin
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.
