Spring Boot Example with HTTP and SSL

Introduction

This example shows how to configure SSL in different scenarios:

1. one way SSL, the server exposes REST API using SSL and the client trusts the server certificate. The SSL server configuration is managed by Spring Boot and the Camel inherit it, the SSL client configuration is managed by Camel in HTTP component

2. two ways SSL, the server and the client check both certificates in a mutual trusted handshake

3. same scenario as point 1 but the server configuration is managed directly in Camel (undertow component) instead of Spring Boot

Prerequisites

keytool installed and available on PATH

Generate certificates and keystores

$ ./generate-certificates.sh

Run using one way ssl (server validation on client side)

Start ssl-server in a separate terminal:

$ mvn spring-boot:run -f ssl-server/pom.xml

Start ssl-client in a separate terminal:

$ mvn spring-boot:run -f ssl-client/pom.xml

Run using two ways ssl (mutual validation)

Start ssl-server in a separate terminal:

$ mvn spring-boot:run -f ssl-server/pom.xml -Ptwoways

Start ssl-client in a separate terminal:

$ mvn spring-boot:run -f ssl-client/pom.xml -Ptwoways

Run using Camel component as server

Start ssl-camel-server in a separate terminal:

$ mvn spring-boot:run -f ssl-camel-server/pom.xml

Start ssl-client in a separate terminal:

$ mvn spring-boot:run -f ssl-client/pom.xml

Call service to start handshake

$ curl http://localhost:8080/ping

Tip

to show the full handshake it is possible to add -Dspring-boot.run.jvmArguments="-Djavax.net.debug=all" in the start command line
