Enable SSL in AEM6

Hi Guys,

In this blog, I'll provide the demonstration of how you can enable SSL on the AEM6 on Author Instance. I have done it earlier in CQ5 via felix console, but in AEM6 I think some fields are added & some are missed as in below image :

Here some fields are new like truststore etc. AFAIK, Also keystore alias is also not available in this configuration, so I faced some issues to configure this. But some help from Adobe Docs worked.

Below are the steps to follow :

1) Navigate to the directory in your local AEM instance & generate the keystore via below command:

user@user-Aspire:/media/user/Misc/SelfWork/Author/crx-quickstart/conf$ keytool -genkeypair -keyalg RSA -validity 3650 -alias cqse -keystore cqkeystore.keystore -keypass password -storepass password -dname "CN=sbroders-w7, OU=CQ, O=Adobe, L=Ottawa, S=Ontario, C=CA"

This will generate the keystore cqkeystore.keystore under /crx-quickstart/conf directory.

2) Navigate to the /apps and create the folder system, and apply the configurations as per the adobe docs. Finally your configuration in crxde will look like :

Restart you AEM Instance. 

3) Hit https://localhost:5433/ and proceed.

Hope this will help.

Thanks
