confluence content url is http instead of https

[Dominik Yu]

Here's a screenshot regarding what's happened!

Since http is used only for internal internet, it's not possible for customer to access confluence content without having our company's vpn.

Is there any way to change the http address to https?

Thanks!

Thanks for the help! By chaning the display URL in the application URL, it solved my problem that content can not be shown via https outside internal network.

This should be helpful: https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/running-confluence-over-ssl-or-https-161203.html

Within <install-directory>/conf/server.xml you should see an example to complete with your information

The instruction from Atlassian for ssl / https describes the use of a self-created ssl certificate.
If there is no trusted ssl certificate for the company, I would get an ssl certificate using free letsencrypt.

@repi The idea is still the same utilizing keytool

You'll need the certificate (pem format, frequently has .cer extension) and the key file
Create a PKCS12 keystore from the private key and the public cert and the certificate chain:

openssl pkcs12 -export -name NAME -in FILE.cer -certfile CHAIN.crt -inkey FILE.key -out FILE.p12

keytool -importkeystore -destkeystore FILE.jks -srckeystore FILE.p12 -srcstoretype pkcs12 -alias NAME

Hi Mike
A long time ago I tried this with the self-created certificate.
It also works. Only every current browser rejects such a certificate as untrusted.
With Letsencrypt, however, I get a trustes certificate, which all browsers accept.
Unfortunately, you have to renew it every 3 months.
