Configure Truststore in Tomcat

Question

I have a Java servlet currently running on Tomcat 7 (Windows) and it connects to a SQL Server database. I now need to encrypt this connection and I have a public Key SSL ce

Answer 1

I think I may have found how, or at least one way of doing this. Someone please tell me if there is a better way of processing this. In the Tomcat\bin folder, where the catalina.bat file is I created a setenv.bat file and in there I declared the two Java option properties for;

set JAVA_OPTS="-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=C:\path\to\keystore.key" "-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=************"

Apparently when Tomcat is started it initiates the catalina.bat file and the catalina.bat file determines if a setenv.bat file exists and if so runs this file to set the Java options.

Again someone please correct me if I am wrong and advise of any better way of doing this. Although apparently where Tomcat is set up as a Windows service the options above are input through the tomcatXw.exe to initiate the Tomcat console and the Java tab is selected.
