Installation and Configuration

Please reference the Howto here: Apache Tomcat with Mod_JK (May 23, 2006)

Configure JDBC MySQL Driver

Download The JDBC MySQL Driver

MySQL JDBC Connector: http://mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/5.0.html

linuxbox /tmp]# wget http://www.stathy.com/mysql/Downloads/Connector-J/mysql-connector-java-5.0.3.tar.gz

linuxbox /tmp]# tar -zxvf mysql-connector-java-5.0.3.tar.gz 

linuxbox /tmp]# cd mysql-connector-java-5.0.3

linuxbox /tmp]# cp mysql-connector-java-5.0.3-bin.jar /opt/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.17/common/lib/

Replace '/opt/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.17' with the location of your Tomcat Home Directory. Also replace the 'wget' line with the actual URL to the MOST RECENT version of the connector.

Um... that installs the driver... now, what to do with it.....  ::shrugs:: I need to RTFM and will update this then.

Configuring SSL

SSL With an Existing Certificate / Key Pair

Upload the Certificate Files You first need to upload the following to the server:

• Certificate File
• Key File to the server
• CA Certificate File

Convert to PKCS12 format

[root@www conf]# openssl pkcs12 -export \
-in certs/www.domain.com.crt \
-inkey certs/www.domain.com.key \
-out www.domain.com.pkcs12 \
-name www.domain.com \
-CAfile certs/ThawteServerCA.cer \
-caname root -chain

Note: This is all one command delimited by the '\'.

Add the connector to %JAVA_HOME%/conf/server.xml

<Connector address="10.1.1.15" port="443" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" 
maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75" 
enableLookups="false" disableUploadTimeout="true" 
acceptCount="100" scheme="https" secure="true" 
clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" 
keystoreFile="/usr/local/tomcat/conf/certs/www.domain.com.pkcs12" 
keystoreType="PKCS12" 
keystorePass="password"/>
