Akka HTTP 2.0 for using SSL (HTTPS)

Question

I am trying to add a self-signed certificate to my configuration in order to make my web service for serving content over SSL, but I have no luck.

Here is my current configuration

ssl { jksKeystore = "localhost.p12" password = "changeit" } 

Any ideas on what I can do to deploy an HTTPS server?

My project uses akka 2.0 and scala

There are several tests in the akka database that test the functionality of https. They use the predefined http contexts defined in ExampleHttpContexts .

I created a small repo that uses the keys from the akka repository (I hope they will not mind) and will create a minimal https server using a self-signed certificate here . Done as a repo instead of judging so you can just clone it to get started.

Here is the scala code:

 package httpsserver import java.security.{SecureRandom, KeyStore} import javax.net.ssl.{KeyManagerFactory, SSLContext} import akka.actor.ActorSystem import akka.http.scaladsl.{HttpsContext, Http} import akka.http.scaladsl.server.Directives._ import akka.http.scaladsl.server.Route import akka.stream.ActorMaterializer object Server extends App { val serverContext: HttpsContext = { val password = "abcdef".toCharArray val context = SSLContext.getInstance("TLS") val ks = KeyStore.getInstance("PKCS12") ks.load(getClass.getClassLoader.getResourceAsStream("keys/server.p12"), password) val keyManagerFactory = KeyManagerFactory.getInstance("SunX509") keyManagerFactory.init(ks, password) context.init(keyManagerFactory.getKeyManagers, null, new SecureRandom) // start up the web server HttpsContext(context) } implicit val system = ActorSystem("server") implicit val materializer = ActorMaterializer() import system._ val route = Route(complete("ok")) Http().bindAndHandle(route, interface = "0.0.0.0", port = 8081, httpsContext = Some(serverContext)) }
