4.3.3. Example SSL Configuration

These examples show what correct configuration looks like in both the server and the agent configuration files for the different encryption and authentication configuration scenarios.

Example 2. Encryption Only: Server (sslservlet) and Agent (sslsocket)

Server Configuration Agent Configuration 
rhq.communications.connector.transport=sslservlet
rhq.communications.connector.bind-address=
rhq.communications.connector.bind-port=
rhq.communications.connector.transport-params=/jboss-remoting-servlet-invoker/ServerInvokerServlet
rhq.server.tomcat.security.client-auth-mode=false
rhq.server.client.security.server-auth-mode-enabled=false
 
<entry key="rhq.communications.connector.transport" value="sslsocket" />
<entry key="rhq.agent.server.transport" value="sslservlet" />
<entry key="rhq.agent.server.bind-port" value="7443" />
The agent configuration defines the server's connection information, so it can be either sslservlet or sslsocket. The agent can only receive incoming messages over sslsocket.

Example 3. Encryption Only: Server (sslsocket) and Agent (sslsocket)

Server Configuration Agent Configuration 
rhq.communications.connector.transport=sslsocket
rhq.communications.connector.bind-address=
rhq.communications.connector.bind-port=7800
rhq.communications.connector.transport-params=
rhq.server.tomcat.security.client-auth-mode=false
rhq.server.client.security.server-auth-mode-enabled=false
 
<entry key="rhq.agent.server.transport"        value="sslsocket" />
<entry key="rhq.agent.server.bind-port"        value="7800" />
<entry key="rhq.agent.server.transport-params" value="" />
Because the agent configuration defines the server's connection information, it must match the configuration in the server's rhq-server.properties file.

Example 4. Encryption and Client Authentication: Server (sslservlet) and Agent (sslsocket)

Server Configuration Agent Configuration 
rhq.communications.connector.transport=sslservlet
rhq.communications.connector.bind-address=
rhq.communications.connector.bind-port=
rhq.communications.connector.transport-params=/jboss-remoting-servlet-invoker/ServerInvokerServlet
rhq.server.tomcat.security.client-auth-mode=true
rhq.server.client.security.server-auth-mode-enabled=true
 
<entry key="rhq.communications.connector.transport" value="sslsocket" />
<entry key="rhq.agent.server.transport"        value="sslservlet" />
<entry key="rhq.agent.server.bind-port"        value="7443" />

Example 5. Encryption and Client Authentication: Server (sslsocket) and Agent (sslsocket)

Server Configuration Agent Configuration 
rhq.communications.connector.transport=sslsocket
rhq.communications.connector.bind-address=
rhq.communications.connector.bind-port=55555
rhq.communications.connector.transport-params=

rhq.communications.connector.security.client-auth-mode=true
rhq.server.client.security.server-auth-mode-enabled=true
 
<entry key="rhq.agent.server.transport"        value="sslsocket" />
<entry key="rhq.agent.server.bind-port"        value="55555" />
<entry key="rhq.agent.server.transport-params" value="" />
