Oracle APEX 系列文章11：全站启用 HTTPS，让你的 APEX 更安全

引言

目前主流的网站都要求 HTTPS 安全访问，Google Chrome 浏览器、微信内置浏览器打开非 HTTPS 的网页，都会提示不安全。如果做微信端开发，也是必须要 HTTPS 的网址才可以，可见 HTTPS 越来越重要了。

还不了解什么是 Oracle APEX，请阅读我的另一篇文章：Oracle APEX 系列文章1：Oracle APEX, 让你秒变全栈开发的黑科技

• Oracle APEX 系列文章2：在阿里云上打造属于你自己的APEX完整开发环境 (安装 CentOS)
• Oracle APEX 系列文章3：在阿里云上打造属于你自己的APEX完整开发环境 (安装 Tomcat, Nginx)
• Oracle APEX 系列文章4：在阿里云上打造属于你自己的APEX完整开发环境 (安装XE, ORDS, APEX)
• Oracle APEX 系列文章5：在阿里云上打造属于你自己的APEX完整开发环境 (进一步优化)

如果你按照钢哥之前的文章已经搭建好了 Oracle APEX 环境，那么你的应用架构应该如下图所示：

这里简单回顾一下各部分组件的作用：

• 用户在浏览器地址栏里输入URL，例如：https://apex.wangfanggang.com/ords/ (不要尝试打开这个网址了，我瞎写的)
• Nginx监听 HTTP (80) 端口和 HTTPS (443) 端口，如果请求的是静态文件（如：image, js 或者 css），则直接获取/i/目录中的内容，对于其他动态请求（如：APEX请求），进一步转发至后端 Tomcat 服务器做进一步处理。
• Tomcat 服务器接收到请求后，会查找部署在它上面的应用，就是我们之前部署的ORDS应用；
• 如果是 APEX 请求，ORDS 进一步将请求转发给 APEX (Oracle 数据库) 进行处理；如果是 ORDS 请求，自身进行处理；

原理比较简单，而我们要做的就是在 Nginx 层面讲 HTTP 请求转发到 HTTPS 上，进而实现全站 HTTPS 访问。

申请 SSL 证书

这里以在阿里云上购买免费 SSL 证书为例，首先登录阿里云控制台，进入安全（云盾）-> SSL证书(应用安全)，点击购买证书。

进入到选择购买页面，提示1年需要五千多大洋，土豪直接点击付款即可。

好吧，我是穷人，只能看看有没有免费证书。其实是有的，依次点击Symantec -> 1个域名 -> 免费型DV SSL，成功激活30人:)

接下来回到控制台，补全刚刚申请的证书信息。

按照提示补全信息。

钢哥提示：由于我们申请的是阿里云的免费证书，只能作用于一个固定域名，一般我们都不会把主域名用来放置APEX应用，所以这里可以填写诸如：apex.xxx.com 的二级域名。如果你想要免费通配符域名，可以移步这里：使用Let’s Encrypt给网站加上免费HTTPS证书

另外需要注意的是，第二步的验证环节，如果你选择的是文件验证，请一定按照提示把对应的验证文件放到你的服务器上，正常文件验证一般不会超过5分钟，如果长时间没验证通过，一定是你操作有问题了。

当你的证书申请通过后，就可以点击下载链接了。

配置 Nginx

将 SSL 证书添加进nginx.conf，按照下载证书页面的提示配置 Nginx：

我的nginx.conf文件内容如下：

worker_processes  auto;
worker_rlimit_nofile 10000;

error_log  logs/error.log;

   worker_connections  2048;

    #==设置nginx采用gzip压缩的形式发送数据，减少发送数据量，但会增加请求处理时间及CPU处理时间，需要权衡
     gzip  on;

      location = /50x.html
      {
      }
    }
}

配置完 nginx，别忘了重启令配置生效。再次在浏览器中访问 APEX 页面，如果能看到如下界面，恭喜你，你的 SSL 证书生效了！！

配置 Tomcat

钢哥在配置的时候 SSL 证书时遇到了一个奇怪的问题，就是启用 SSL 证书后，访问 APEX 页面时会发生重定向错误（302 error：too_many_redirects），导致无法正常访问。

经过跟同事几天的研究，发现除了要在 Nginx 上启用 SSL 证书以外，还必须在 Tomcat 上也启用。还是回到阿里云控制台证书下载页面，找到 Tomcat 配置证书部分。

钢哥提示：特别要注意的是，这里要选择JKS格式证书进行安装，否则会有问题。

在 Tomcat 的server.xml文件中添加如下内容：

<Valve
   className = "org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteIpValve"
   remoteIpHeader = "X-Forwarded-For"
   protocolHeader = "X-Forwarded-Proto"
/>

我的server.xml文件内容：

结语

用 HTTPS 协议来安全地访问你的 APEX 应用，这一点特别是对企业应用特别重要，相信你现在已经掌握了如何在 APEX 上全站启用 SSL 证书。本文如有遗漏或不足的地方也请随时跟钢哥交流，让我们共同学习，共同进步！
