I have a requirement to run the initial OpenFire setup via SSL, with the http connection disabled. I understand that I would likely need to create an appropriate certificate in the appropriate store to make this possible. To test the scenario, I have completely configured an OpenFire server, to ensure that the appropriate certificates are already created, and then changed false in the OpenFire.xml file.
Below is my OpenFire.xml configuration file with passwords sanitized:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> -1 443 en true 5 org.jivesoftware.database.DefaultConnectionProvider net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://XMPP1-SQL.XMPP1.LOCAL:1433/Openfire_Collaborat ion_DB;appName=jive xxx xxx select 1 false false 5 25 1.0 falseAnd here are the contents of the “All” log:
