如何为Jenkins配置SSL？

Question

We are configuring SSL to work with a couple of our tools, but we struggle to make Jenkins work with SSL.

We have different password for the keystore and the key, hence we need to set both in JENKINS_ARGS

By Default, these are the options I found in the /etc/default/jenkins: --javahome=$JAVA_HOME --httpPort=$HTTP_PORT (default 8080; disable with -1) --httpsPort=$HTTP_PORT --argumentsRealm.passwd.$ADMIN_USER=[password] --argumentsRealm.roles.$ADMIN_USER=admin --webroot=~/.jenkins/war --prefix=$PREFIX

I searched the documentation here , but didn't find anything helpful.

so here are my questions: 1- are there the following attributes as parameters: keyPassword, keyType? 2- if not, what would be the best approach?

Thanks.

It looks like Jenkins forces the usage of reverse-proxy. It doesn't support all the features of SSL to be opened in a direct client-server connection, so I guess using Apache or Nginx reverse proxy is the "correct" way for now.
