How to enable HTTPS for standalone Wiremock

Question

Overview:

I used wiremock standalone 2.1.11 and did the following to enable HTTPS URL for my request but to no avail:

• Studying the doc http://wiremock.org/docs/running-standalone/
• Adding --https-port but nothing happened
• Adding keystore but again no progress

The command for running the wiremock is as follows:

java -jar wiremock-standalone-2.1.11.jar --port 8920 --https-port 8921 --https-keystore /home/wiremock/keystore/clientkeystore --verbose

Note: I can connect via http port correctly

---

Now I would be grateful if anyone could help me find solution for HTTPS connection.

1. Generate java key store for wiremock

    keytool -genkey -alias wiremock -keyalg RSA -keysize 1024 \
    -validity 365 -keypass password -keystore identity.jks -storepass password
   

   Important --- Follow the prompts to specify the certificate details:

   • First and last name: this is not your name, it is the Common Name (CN), for example 'confluence.example.com'. The CN must match the fully qualified hostname of the server running Confluence, or Tomcat won't be able to use the certificate for SSL.
   • Organizational unit: this is the team or department requesting the certificate, for example 'marketing'.
   • Organization: this is your company name, for example 'SeeSpaceEZ'. City, State / province, country code: this is where you're located, for example Sydney, NSW, AU.

2. Create the self-signed certification

   openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout localhost.key -out localhost.crt -config localhost.conf
   

3. Import certification into keystore

    keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias mock -file localhost.crt -keystore identity.jks
   

4. Start wiremock with the new keystore and HTTPS enabled

    java -jar wiremock-1.54-standalone.jar --https-port 8443 --https-keystore 
    ./identity.jks
