After upgrading One click web app is not working on https - java.io.IOException: HTTPS hostname wrong: should be <localhost>

Products

• CA Spectrum
• CA eHealth

Issue/Introduction

Post upgrading to 10.4.2 SSL configured OneclickWebapp could not be launched from Spectrum Admin page.

Applicable only for 10.4.2 Version only

 

 

Environment

Release : 10.4.2 Only

Component : Spectrum OneClick

Cause

In 10.4.2 Tomcat is upgraded to 9.0.34 version

From Tomcat 9.0.24 there is a limitation that certificate must have CN name as localhost otherwise tomcat and webtomcat communication will fail with the following exception:

 

Jul 28, 2020 23:22:47.533 (https-jsse-nio-443-exec-8) - IOException while connecting to webapp

Jul 28, 2020 23:22:47.533 (https-jsse-nio-443-exec-8) - Trying with localhost

Jul 28, 2020 23:22:47.548 (https-jsse-nio-443-exec-8) - IOException while connecting to webapp

Resolution

1. Generate a private self-signed certificate in the custom cacerts file and give it a unique Alias Name for identification

Issue the following commands:

Login to Spectrum Oneclick Server

Windows:

Start RUN

bash -l

cd $SPECROOT/Java/bin

 

Linux:

cd $SPECROOT/Java/bin

Command to create a self-signed cert with CN=localhost: 

./keytool -genkey -alias tomcatssl-localhost -keyalg RSA -keystore Drive:/win32app/Spectrum/custom/keystore/cacerts

 

Note: We need to give complete path instead of %SPECROOT% or $SPECROOT

 

Enter your answers to the following questions:

 

Enter keystore password (default is changeit) :     

 

If you change the default password for the Tomcat web server, specify the custom password in the $SPECROOT/tomcat/conf/server.xml configuration file.

 

What is your first and last name? :  localhost

 

Enter the name as localhost

 

 

What is the name of your organizational unit?

Enter a small organization name, such as the name of a division, business unit, or department. For example, Purchasing.

 

What is the name of your organization?

Enter a large organization name, such as ABCSystems, Inc.

 

What is the name of your City or Locality?

Enter your city name, such as Hyderabad.

 

What is the name of your State or Province?

Enter the full name, such as Telangana.

 

What is the two-letter country code for this unit?

Enter the two-letter country code. For example, IN.

 

 

Is CN=localhost, OU=Purchasing, O="ABCSystems, Inc.", L=Hyderabad, ST=Telangana, C=IN correct?

 

Enter Yes.

 

Enter key password for <tomcatssl-localhost> (RETURN if same as keystore password):

 

Enter key password for <tomcatssl-localhost>. Press Enter to use the same password as the keystore password.

 

NOTE:

After adding the tomcatssl-localhost key, ensure you take a backup of the $SPECROOT/custom/keystore/cacerts file.

 

Example:

 

 

 

2. Edit the WebTomcat Server.xml (path=$SPECROOT/webtomcat/conf)

Add keyAlias=”tomcatssl-localhost” to SSL connector port element to use the specific certificate from the list of certificates under the keystore

<Connector port="443" enableLookups="true" disableUploadTimeout="true" tcpNoDelay="true" acceptCount="100" scheme="https" secure="true" SSLEnabled="true" clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" sslEnabledProtocols="TLSv1.2" ciphers="TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256, TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384, TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256, TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384, TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256, TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384, TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256, TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA256" keystoreFile="<SPECROOT>/custom/keystore/cacerts" keystorePass="changeit" keyAlias=”tomcatssl-localhost”>

Save the file

Restart Spectrum Tomcat

Restart Spectrum WebTomcat

 

Now try to launch WebApp from oneclick homepage
