Spring Boot FAQ: Top Questions

To enable HTTPS in Spring Boot, configure the server to use SSL with a valid certificate in application.properties.

🗺️ Steps:

1. Generate a keystore using keytool or obtain one from a CA.
2. Add SSL properties to the config file.

📥 Example:

server.port=8443
server.ssl.key-store=classpath:keystore.p12
server.ssl.key-store-password=changeit
server.ssl.keyStoreType=PKCS12
server.ssl.keyAlias=myalias

🏆 Expected Output:

Application runs on HTTPS at port 8443.

🛠️ Use Cases:
