    Hi,

     

    You need to create or copy the keystore to the Linux system where you are running the VirtServer. Then you need to update the VirtServer configuration file (<installation-dir>/bin/virt-server.yml). In the config file you need to un-comment the virtSSL section and update the keystore information according to your setting. 

     

    # SSL configuration for virts
#virtSSL:
    #virtKeystorePath: /path/.keystore  
    #virtKeystorePassword: keystoreSecret
    #virtKeyPassword: keySecret
    #virtTrustStorePath: /path/.keystore
    #virtTrustStorePassword: trustStoreSecret

     

    Here you can find more details about VirtServer configuration http://readyapi.smartbear.com/virtserver/reference/settings.

Dear Shadid,

 

I've Setup the config file as you suggested. However running the Virt on the remote Server Fails with error:

 

Unable to start Virt REST Virt 1: {"error":"com.smartbear.servicev.core.model.SvpException: keystore for ssl is not configured"}

 

Do you have any idea? I've already double checked the keytore's location and Password

Dear Dominik,

 

Can you paste part of the config where you have virtSSL (without the passwords)?

      Hi Dominik,

       

      The config looks okay.

       

      Just to double check have you restarted your virtServer after changing the configuration? If you have restarted the server and still it did not pick the config let us know the  which version of virtServer are you running, we can try to reproduce the issue here.

        Dear Shadid,

         

        after restarting the server the configured keystore was used. So you can regard the case as solved. Thanks again for your help.
