Create a Self Signed Certificate for Jira

Ghaith Haddad August 21, 2019

Hello everyone,

 

So i have Jira installed on an AWS EC2 instance, and i want to use it on HTTPS, but i dont want to use the certificate of a CA i need to create and sign my own root CA and server certificates for security purposes.

 

Are there any guides or tutorials out there that can me in this situation?

 

Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

If you are on AWS EC2 why don't you generate Amazons Certificate, it will free for all Amazon services and works everywhere.

Here is guide - https://aws.amazon.com/certificate-manager/

On self signed certificates and using them with Jira, you can follow this Apache Tomcat server ssl guide (as Jira uses tomcat server to run itself)

https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/ssl-howto.html
