Bad Request - This combination of host and port requires TLS. with Spring Boot

Question

I'm newbie with Spring Boot.

I'm trying to make a https call to a service, I have a Privake key to secure connection.

I hit:

http://localhost:8081/points/12345/search 

I tried with https:// but I get from Postman:

Could not get any response There was an error connecting to https://localhost:8081/points/12345/search. 

From the moment I wrote

server.ssl.key-store=classpath:KeyStore.jks server.ssl.key-store-password=test 

in application.properties, I get the error message:

Bad Request - This combination of host and port requires TLS

I have deleted all my code in my controller, I just let the endpoint so that I can invoke it.

@RestController @SpringBootApplication public class MainApplication {     @RequestMapping(value = "/points/{point}/search", method = RequestMethod.GET)     public PointsType getPoint(@PathVariable(value = "point") String point) {         System.out.println("hi"); // Never printed         return null;     }     public static void main(String[] args) {         SpringApplication.run(MainApplication.class, args);     } } 

Here is the file application.properties:

spring.application.name=sge server.port=8081 server.ssl.key-store=classpath:KeyStore.jks server.ssl.key-store-password=test server.ssl.key-alias=homologation-staging server.ssl.trust-store=classpath:TrustStore.jks server.ssl.trust-store-password=test server.ssl.client-auth=need security.require-ssl=true server.tomcat.remote_ip_header=x-forwarded-for server.tomcat.protocol_header=x-forwarded-proto 

What should I do ?

Answer 1

I used https:// at the beginning instead of http://, it worked for me.

Answer 2

I got this message because I was using wrong certificate.

I misunderstood Client certificate and Server certificate.

In my case, I installed my certificate on the server, for my domain, but what I needed to do instead is to use it to make the request, as a client certificate.

you can check it how to do it here.

So this message is basically saying: "Hey, your SSL request is not OK", I can't find the cert file, or your cert file is not the good one, as @SerdarAtalay says, it can also significate that you didn't use https:// prefix, etc.

Hope it helps!
