Configuring SSL in JHipster - ssl

Question

I am currently trying to implement a ssl into my current Jhipster application.
So far i have generated a certificate using keytool -genkey -alias iroApp -storetype PKCS12 -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -keystore keystore.p12 -validity 3650 .
In application-dev.yml i changed the server options from:
server:
port: 8080
to:
server:
port: 8443
ssl:
key-store: keystore.p12
key-store-password: myPassword
keyStoreType: PKCS12
keyAlias: myApplicationName
In proxy.conf.json:
From
{
"*": {
"target": "http://localhost:8080",
"secure": false,
"loglevel": "debug"
}
}
To
{
"*": {
"target": "http://localhost:8443",
"secure": true,
"loglevel": "debug"
}
}
In webpack.dev.js i have changed the target ip ports(from 8080 to 8443) and the secure from false to true.
When i enter on the page i get the "This site can’t be reached.localhost unexpectedly closed the connection.ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED"
Is there something i forgot to do?
Thank you

Your key-alias needs to be all lowercase. It fails silently if you have a capital letter in the alias. You also are missing an indentation in your config, and you shouldn't mix snake-case and camelCase config variables.
Your final config should look like:
server:
port: 8443
ssl:
key-store: keystore.p12
key-store-password: myPassword
key-store-type: PKCS12
key-alias: myapplicationname
This was reported and fixed recently in the generator code (issue link)
