Enabling HTTP Over SSL In AEM 5.6.1 For Windows OS

Enabling HTTP over SSL in AEM 5.6.1 for Windows OS

	Follow the below steps
Step: 1	Create SSL folder inside the AEM server folder which is parallel to the  crx-quickstart.jar file
	For Example D:\CQ-5.6.1- software\latest-5.6.1 software\ssl\
Step: 2	Generate a self-signed certificate for public/private key pair- -          Go to command prompt point to the SSL folder
	For Example: D:\CQ-5.6.1- software\latest-5.6.1 software\ssl\
	Steps to be followed to create Keystore and CSR
	Option1: Create a keystore with public/private key pair D:\CQ-5.6.1- software\latest-5.6.1 software>ssl\keytool -genkeypair -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 3650 -alias cqse -keystore cqkeystore.keystore -keypass S!n@t$!123  -storepass S!n@t$!123 -dname "CN=test.com, OU=test.com, O=test, L=Singapore, S=Singapore, C=SG" Option2:  Generate CSR D:\CQ-5.6.1- software\latest-5.6.1 software>ssl\keytool -certreq -alias "cqse" -keystore cqkeystore.keystore -file LCCertRequest.csr Verify the generated keystore and csr certificate in the local file system where D:\CQ-5.6.1- software\latest-5.6.1 software\ssl folder
Step: 3	Login to the Author instance as Admin User
Step: 4	Open the OSGI/Felix console: http://localhost:4502/system/console/configMgr
Step: 5	Select Configuration options from OSGI tab
Step:6	Select “Day CQSE HTTP Service” & open it.
Step: 7	Configure the HTTPS port, Keystore Absolute file path and keystore password
Step: 8	Where Keystore: Path  of the key store file D:\CQ-5.6.1- software\latest-5.6.1 software\publish\ssl\cqkeystore.keystore Keystore Password: S!n@t$!123  Key password: S!n@t$!123  Enable HTTPS: Select the check box Https Port: 5443 Key Alias: cqse Client Certificate: No client certificate Finally click on save.
Step:9	Validate whether the HTTP and HTTPS port started in the error.log file
	02.10.2014 18:46:35.409 *INFO* [CQSE HTTP Service] cqse-httpservice Started CQSE 4.x at port(s) HTTP:4502 HTTPS:5443 on context path /
