liferay Setting up SSL How to enable SSL on Tomcat and Liferay

Example

Make sure your tomcat configurations file, server.xml has this line:

<Connector port="8443" protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol"
              maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" SSLEnabled="true"
              maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
              enableLookups="false" disableUploadTimeout="true"
              acceptCount="100" scheme="https" secure="true"
              clientAuth="false" useBodyEncodingForURI="true"
              sslEnabledProtocols="TLSv1.2"
              keystorePass="passwordtokeystore"
              keystoreFile="/path/to/.keystoreChain"
              truststoreFile="%JAVA_HOME%/jdk1.8.0_91/jre/lib/security/cacerts"
              />

Its important to choose the right sslprotocols, you can add more sslprotocols with a comma seperation inbetween the ssl protocols like this:

sslEnabledProtocols="TLSv1, TLSv1.1, TLSv1.2"

Then make sure that your portal-ext.properties file in Liferay have this configuration lines:

web.server.protocol=https
