### Designer does not have its Own Certificate

In order to connect to CloverETL Server via `https` when Designer does not need to have its own certificate, you only need to create a server keystore.

To generate this key, execute the following script (version for Unix) in the `bin` subdirectory of JDK or JRE where `keytool` is located:

    keytool -genkeypair -alias server -keyalg RSA -keystore ./serverKS.jks \
            -keypass p4ssw0rd -storepass p4ssw0rd -validity 900 \
            -dname "cn=localhost, ou=ETL, o=Javlin, c=CR"

(In these commands, `localhost` is the default name of your CloverETL Server, if you want any other Server name, replace the `localhost` name in these commands by any other hostname.)

After that, copy the `serverKS.jks` file to the `conf` subdirectory of Tomcat.

Then, copy the following code to the `server.xml` file in this `conf` subdirectory:

    <Listener className="org.apache.catalina.core.AprLifecycleListener"
              SSLEngine="off" />

    <Connector port="8443" maxHttpHeaderSize="7192"
              maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25"
              enableLookups="false" disableUploadTimeout="true"
              acceptCount="100" scheme="https" secure="true"
              clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="SSL"
              SSLEnabled="true"
              protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol"
              keystoreFile="pathToTomcatDirectory/conf/serverKS.jks"
              keystorePass="p4ssw0rd"
    />

Now you can run CloverETL Server by executing the `startup` script located in the `bin` subdirectory of Tomcat.

And, when you start your CloverETL Designer, you will be able to create your CloverETL Server projects using the following default connection to Server: `https://localhost:8443/clover` where both login name and password are `clover`.

You will be prompted to accept the Server certificate. After which, you are allowed to create a CloverETL Server project.
