Running Fiji Demo application over HTTPS under Tomcat 6.0

This tutorial shows how to run Fiji Demo application over HTTPS on Tomcat.

1. Create a certificate keystore by executing the following command:

%JAVA_HOME%\bin\keytool -genkey -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA

and specify a password value of "changeit".


The file .keystore will be created on your account. For Win machines: C:\Documents and Settings\%username%

2. Uncomment the "SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector" entry in $CATALINA_BASE/conf/server.xml and tweak as necessary.

    <!-- Define a SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8443
         This connector uses the JSSE configuration, when using APR, the 
         connector should be using the OpenSSL style configuration
         described in the APR documentation -->
    <!--    -->

    <Connector port="8443" protocol="HTTP/1.1" SSLEnabled="true"
               maxThreads="150" scheme="https" secure="true"
               clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" />

3. Deploy fiji-demo.war on Tomcat and point your browser to https://localhost:8443/fiji-demo. All charts should render correctly :)
