Eureka server ssl configuration

Time:06-04

I'm trying to configure the Eureka spring boot server with an SSL certificate. And I can't find good information to do it. I'm doing it on a local machine with a personal certificate for testing purposes.

As much as I can understand to do it, I've done this step:

1 - Created SSL certificate:

keytool -genkeypair -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -storetype PKCS12 -keystore ssltest.p12 -validity 365 -ext "SAN:c=DNS:localhost,IP:127.0.0.1"

2 - In application.yml from Eureka server

server:
  port: 9290
  servlet:
    context-path: /discoveryservice
  ssl:
    enabled: true
    key-store: file:c:\tmp\ssl\ssltest.p12
    key-store-type: PKCS12
    key-store-password: 12345678
    trust-store: file:c:\tmp\ssl\ssltest.p12
    trust-store-type: PKCS12
    trust-store-password: 12345678

eureka:
  instance:
    hostname: localhost
    secure-port: ${server.port}
    secure-port-enabled: true
    non-secure-port-enabled: false
    secure-virtual-host-name: ${spring.application.name}
    home-page-url-path: https://${eureka.instance.hostname}:${server.port}/${server.servlet.context-path}/
    status-page-url-path: https://${eureka.instance.hostname}:${server.port}/${server.servlet.context-path}/info
    health-check-url: https://${eureka.instance.hostname}:${server.port}/${server.servlet.context-path}/health
  client:
    fetch-registry: false
    register-with-eureka: false

  server:
    wait-time-in-ms-when-sync-empty: 0


logging:
  level:
    com:
      netflix:
        eureka: OFF
        discovery: OFF

But it doesn't work, because soon as I add:

trust-store: file:c:\tmp\ssl\ssltest.p12
trust-store-type: PKCS12
trust-store-password: 1234567

I'm getting an error message, and I can't find how to resolve it:

Disconnected from the target VM, address: '127.0.0.1:62614', transport: 'socket'

Thank you very much for your support and help.

PS: If someone has a good documentation about it too, I will be please :)

CodePudding user response:

Based on the explanation given by @dave_thompson_085 there is the solution:

There is how to create the correct certificate:

keytool -genkey -alias myCertificate -keystore myCertificate.jks -ext "SAN:c=DNS:localhost,IP:127.0.0.1"

keytool -genkey -alias myClientCertificate -keystore myClientCertificate.jks -ext "SAN:c=DNS:localhost,IP:127.0.0.1"

keytool -export -alias myClientCertificate -file myClientCertificate.crt -keystore myClientCertificate.jks

keytool -export -alias myCertificate -file myCertificate.crt -keystore myCertificate.jks

keytool -import -alias myClientCertificate -file myClientCertificate.crt -keystore myCertificate.jks

And then on Eureka application.yml:

  ssl:
    enabled: true
    key-store: file:c:\tmp\ssl\myCertificate.jks
    key-store-type: JKS
    key-store-password: 12345678
    trust-store: file:c:\tmp\ssl\myCertificate.jks
    trust-store-type: PKCS12
    trust-store-password: 12345678
