Tomcat running HTTPS preventing ebase Designer access

[Jez]

Hi,

We have successfully got Tomcat running HTTPS and all our ebase apps are working well. However, this appears to prevent me getting in to the ebase Designer application which only seems to want to talk HTTP

Has anyone else been successful in getting Designer to connect when Tomcat is running HTTPS? Or am I missing something fundamental in my understanding?

Thanks,

[Jon]

I don't think it's possible to connect the designer with the server using https. The designer will attempt to use http regardless.

I take it you are running Tomcat behind an HTTP-server.

You have at least the following options to this.
1. Allow connections through a specific port to Tomcat. In Tomcat that port has to be defined as an HTTP connector. You then connect the Ebase designer using the defined port that you have exposed to the internet.

2. Set-up a tunnel to the server and then use the tunnel to talk directly to Tomcat on Tomcats HTTP port (normally 3030).

3. If you have your domain redirecting to HTTPS and that is what is causing the problem, you could set up a sub-domain that does not redirect to HTTPS. http://www.mydomain.com redirects to https://www.mydomain.com and http://noredirect.mydomain.com stays on http://noredirect.mydomain.com for example.
