    Description

      NOTE: This suggestion is for JIRA Cloud. Using JIRA Server? See the corresponding suggestion.

      Currently we have this page in our documentation with a thorough explanation with steps on how to use JIRA over SSL.

      We also have inside the $JIRA_INSTALL/conf/server.xml file a commented text with 4 steps on how to do that that seems much simpler/faster than the steps in the page.

      To run JIRA via HTTPS:

      • Uncomment the Connector below
      • Execute:
        %JAVA_HOME%\bin\keytool -genkey -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA (Windows)
        $JAVA_HOME/bin/keytool -genkey -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA (Unix)
        with a password value of "changeit" for both the certificate and the keystore itself.
      • If you are on JDK1.3 or earlier, download and install JSSE 1.0.2 or later, and put the JAR files into
        "$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext"
      • Restart and visit https://localhost:8443/

      Is there any difference in using the documentation page method or the commented method?
      If the method in the server.xml file is somehow not recommended, should we keep it there?
