Securing the WildFly console using HTTPS

In this recipe, we will learn how to secure your WildFly management console at the communication protocol level. To achieve such a configuration, we will need to create a certificate which will be used to encrypt all the traffic.

Getting ready

To get started, let's first create an ad-hoc folder to run our WildFly. In a terminal window run the following commands:

$ cd $WILDFLY_HOME
$ cp -a standalone sec-std-node-mgmt

Now it's time to create our keystore which is used to encrypt data traffic.

1. Open a new terminal window and execute the following:

   $ cd $WILDFLY_HOME $ cd sec-std-node-mgmt/configuration $ keytool -v -genkey -alias wildfly.management -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -sigalg SHA1withRSA -keystore wildfly.management.keystore ...
