mTLS demo of a json server

Primary LanguageJava

mTLS Spring Boot Demo Server

start by creating client and server p12 certs and trust stores by:

cd ./src/main/resources
bash ./gencrt.sh

Note the server cert and trust store are separate files in this example and we're not using JKS formats.

Run the server:

./gradlew bootRun

Access the server from a client and not the failure due to mTLS not succeeding due to an alert bad certificate error.

curl -k https://localhost:8443

Now tell cURL to identify itself with a cert from a CA the server trusts:

curl -k --cert-type P12 --cert src/main/resources/client.p12:changeit https://localhost:8443

Get a json response using lotsofname API:

curl -vk --cert-type P12 --cert src/main/resources/client.p12:changeit https://localhost:8443/name/Ed

The excellent tutorial that I followed to learn the above is here - my thanks to the author Mihaita Tinta.
