Explanation:
The error message “The Apache Tomcat Native library which allows using OpenSSL was not found” usually occurs when the required OpenSSL library is missing or not properly configured for Apache Tomcat.
To resolve this issue, you need to ensure that the Apache Tomcat Native library and OpenSSL are correctly installed and configured. The following steps outline the process:
-
Download the Apache Tomcat Native library:
Visit the official Apache Tomcat Native website and download the appropriate version of the library for your operating system. You can find the downloads at https://tomcat.apache.org/native-doc/. -
Install OpenSSL:
If you haven’t installed OpenSSL on your system, you will need to do so. OpenSSL is an open-source implementation of the SSL and TLS protocols. You can find the installation files and instructions for your operating system on the OpenSSL website. -
Configure the Apache Tomcat Native library:
Once you have downloaded and installed the Apache Tomcat Native library, you need to configure the Tomcat server to use it. Open the Tomcat configuration file (usually named server.xml) located in the conf directory of your Tomcat installation.
Look for theConnector
element(s) in the file and ensure that they include a reference to the Apache Tomcat Native library using thesslImplementationName
attribute. For example:
<Connector port="8443" protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol"
maxThreads="150" SSLEnabled="true" scheme="https" secure="true"
keystoreFile="/path/to/keystore" keystorePass="password"
sslImplementationName="org.apache.tomcat.util.net.openssl.OpenSSLImplementation" />
Make sure to adjust theport
,keystoreFile
, andkeystorePass
values to match your specific configuration. -
Restart Tomcat:
After making the changes, save the configuration file and restart the Tomcat server. The OpenSSL library should now be properly utilized by Tomcat.
By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the “The Apache Tomcat Native library which allows using OpenSSL was not found” error and successfully use OpenSSL with Apache Tomcat.
