How to configure HTTPs support for application running on Azure VM

Question

I am running my custom application on Azure VM. Now I want to provide HTTPs support using Self-signed certification for my application.

I did the following

1. Generate a JKS file

 $JAVA_HOME/bin/keytool -genkey -alias test -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -keystore sample.jks -dname "CN=test,OU=admin,O=sample,L=Redwood City,ST=CA,C=US" -storepass testing -keypass testing 

2. Configure the following property file with above values

 redirect_port=443 ssl_port=443 keystore=sample.jks keystore_password=testing truststore=sample.jks truststore_password=testing 

3. Add HTTPs port

 firewall-cmd --zone=public --permanent --add-service=https systemctl restart firewalld netstat -ln tcp6 0 0 :::443 :::* LISTEN 

4. When I load the https://myip , It keeps on loading and getting connection time out error after some time.

This site can't be reached myip took too long to respond.

Update:-

I made it working by myself after adding 443 port in NSG rule. Now it is working.

Answer 1

So 3 moving parts:

1. application listening (seems you got that covered).
2. OS level firewall allowing traffic (iptables\\whatever)
3. Azure level firewall allowing traffic (network security group\\firewall)
