  • 1.  How do I convert UVC http to https

    Posted Aug 02, 2024 12:17 PM

    Hello,

    We are trying to convert our UVC Console Webstart link from http to https, but we can't seem to do it.  We were told by support to do it via Tomcat.  Unfortunately, I'm not well versed with Tomcat, and even though just trying to follow the document provided, https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-9.0-doc/ssl-howto.html, I still cannot set it up.  Note that our security team will no longer condone http sessions, so we have to convert.

    I already executed the step to create an certificate keystore, then tried to set it up in the Tomcat config file, server.xml, but still couldn't connect to HTTPS.  Not sure if I missed any other step or what other options to take.  So, I really appreciate it if someone can kindly point me in the right direction.    

    Thanks in advance for your help,

    Gerry

    Hello,

    Thanks to Jean, in part. as we were finally able to convert the http link of UVC console webstart to HTTPS, see below.

    However, after clicking the 'Go' button, and starts to the do the 'Downloading application' window, it takes about 5 to 10 minutes before it tries to launch but then goes to an error, 'Unable to launch application'.  (see screenshots below)



    I'm attaching the Details in a word document for you to check.  Can someone kindly check and advise further what else we're missing and what still needs to be done?

    Hello Gerry,

    Apache has some documentation that could help you set up https and/or SSL on your Tomcat instance. I would recommend starting here:

    https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-9.0-doc/ssl-howto.html

    I hope this helps!

    Regards,

    Looks like you have a certificate security error,  if you fix up those then everything should work. Univiewer JNLPis not being allowed to start as java thinks that it can't be trusted.

    In the log

    Caused by: java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: denyAfter constraint check failed: SHA1 used with Constraint date: 2019-01-01; params date: 2024-08-15T12:40:13.489Z.

    Quick look on the net and seems you could try the following

    Cause

    The issue is caused by JARs signed with SHA-1 algorithms that are restricted by default and treated as if they were unsigned, starting from the Oracle Java Version 8 Update 351.

    Resolution

    To run JNLP files and start Remote Control Managed sessions not using pre-installed Controller, perform the following steps:

    1. Open the "java.security" file available in the following directory:
      [installation_path]\server\java\jre\lib\security\java.security

    2. Locate the "jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithms" property and set it to the following value:

      MD2, MD5, SHA1 jdkCA & usage TLSServer, \
      RSA keySize < 1024, DSA keySize < 1024, EC keySize < 224, \
      include jdk.disabled.namedCurves

    3. Save the file and run the downloaded JNLP file.
