I have a Spring Boot application that is pushed on Bluemix as a CF app. It works efficiently with the http protocol. However if i tried to force https, I get a 502 error.
I have:
@Configuration
class WebSecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
@Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
http.requiresChannel().anyRequest().requiresSecure();
//http.csrf().disable();
}
}
And I have an application.properties file with those entries:
server.ssl.key-store = classpath:**.jks
server.ssl.key-store-password = *******
server.ssl.key-password = ******
server.tomcat.remote_ip_header=x-forwarded-for
server.tomcat.protocol_header=x-forwarded-proto
I am aware that Bluemix performs SSL termination; in fact it sets correctly x-forwarded-proto and x-forwarded-for. I looked for solutions like 1 and 2 but without any luck.
I then tried with the following solution, as suggested in this article but a received a redirect loop insted:
@Bean
public TomcatEmbeddedServletContainerFactory tomcatEmbeddedServletContainerFactory(){
return new TomcatEmbeddedServletContainerFactory() {
@Override
protected void postProcessContext(Context context) {
SecurityConstraint securityConstraint = new SecurityConstraint();
securityConstraint.setUserConstraint("CONFIDENTIAL");
SecurityCollection collection = new SecurityCollection();
collection.addPattern("/*");
securityConstraint.addCollection(collection);
context.addConstraint(securityConstraint);
}
};
}
What did I miss in my approach? Many thanks for any tips/suggestions you may provide me
