Configure an httpEndpoint to use an SSL configuration other than the default

The following examples show different ways to configure an httpEndpoint to use an SSL configuration other than the default SSL configuration.

Set the SSL options directly on the httpEndpoint

Assumes we have as SSL configuration named wasListenerSSLConfig:

<httpEndpoint id="defaultHttpEndpoint"
              host="${listener.host}"
              httpPort="${http.port}"
              httpsPort="${https.port}">

    <sslOptions sslRef="wasListenerSSLConfig" />

</httpEndpoint>

Reference an sslOption element in the httpEndpoint

Assumes we have an SSL configuration named wasListenerSSLConfig:

<sslOptions id="mySSLOptions" 
            sslRef="wasListenerSSLConfig" />

<httpEndpoint id="defaultHttpEndpoint"
  host="${listener.host}"
  httpPort="${http.port}"
  httpsPort="${https.port}"
  sslOptionsRef="mySSLOptions"
/>

Set the default sslOptions element to point to an SSL configuration other than the default

Assumes we have an SSL configuration named wasListenerSSLConfig:

<sslOptions id="defaultSSLOptions" sslRef="wasListenerSSLConfig" />
