Configure HTTPS for Spring Boot application on localhost with self-signed certificate

Secure connection is required standard nowadays. In this video, I'd like to share with you about how to enable SSL for a Spring Boot application using self-signed certificate, for the purpose of development on local computer (localhost).

In details, you will learn:
- Generate SSL self-signed certificate using Java keytool
- Enable HTTPS for a Spring Boot application
- Install self-signed certificate on local computer so your browser will trust the certificate

Hi, can I use the same configuration/implementation for the reactive programming in WebFlux? Or for this reason the SSL implementation is different?

Thank you for very useful video.some questions:
1. Is src/main/resources secure for storing key store.p12 file?
2. If using javaFX as frontend how can configure ssl ?
3. If your spring boot application run on server, how will be the keystore and configuration?

Whats the version of SSL? Is there any ways I can check. I suppose latest versions of SSL are called TLS ?
Please advise

[KCTsangKen]

A very good video, it is very helpful! Just one question: I see that you were using SSL and I want to know if TLS is configured the same way, thank you!

I am always learning new stuffs from Nam! But is it possible to do this when the front end is built with ReactJS or once the front end is built with ReactJS I must do this with a JS backend framework ?
