how to make pentaho bi server connection secure

Question

I want to access http://localhost:8080/pentaho as a secure connection.

like

https://localhost:8080/pentaho

I am using bi-server-5.4 i tried to make changes in server.xml file

In connector i changed protocol="HTTP/1.1" to protocol="HTTPS/1.1"

after doing this changes server is not starting.

Note : i am using community version.

I put nginx with HTTPS in front, and just proxy internal. If you want to have HTTPS directly you need set it up with tomcat. — bolav, Feb 24 '16 at 09:41

Since Pentaho is running on Tomcat. You need to setup HTTPS in on your Tomcat. This is explained in the Tomcat documentation. If you still have troubles you should ask your question as a Tomcat question instead of a Pentaho.

To use nginx in front of Tomcat just add a proxy in your nginx setup, and then setup nginx with https:

location / {
  proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
  proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
  proxy_set_header Host $host;
}
