I cannot switch my Confluence site from http to https SSL

[Vinh Le]

Hi All,

I have read up as much replies regarding my problem here but still I get this frustrating error when I tried to make it works on Https with my SSL certificate pfx.

Yes, I have followed these steps below.

They have very much similar issues as i have.

Please see my screen captures.

I have imported my SSL certificate in pfx format into the keystore as you can see in the screen. It is valid. The password are all valid as I tested it.

I have gone over the config files so many times in the last 4 days.

I have rebooted the server etc.

Note: It runs perfectly with localhost:8090 but as soon as I added configurations for Https it just spit the dummy.

Please help I am desperate!

Hi @Vinh Le Have you referred the solution on this KB article to see if that helps.

[Vinh Le]

Yes i ve read that . I have imported it into keystore as you can see in the screen capture

But it just didnot recognise my keystore file

[Kishan Sharma]

If you configure the keystoreFile path as "C:\Users\Administrator\VinhKeystore.ks does that make any difference?

I have seemed to solve this issue.

Since it is started by Windows services, I had to change Confluence service log on to be run as local system account. This seems to allow it to access the folder c:\users\administrator\my-ssl-cert.pfx  file.
