How to make the App Server Listen for HTTPS

Looks like I should have thanked myself in advance....

Turns out its pretty easy. Open the admin console, go to configuration, add and HTTP listener, check the security check box, and fill out the other mandatory fields like the port. Standard SSL port is 443.

Save changes, and restart the App Server. Any deployed apps should be reachable via https://localhost:443/myWebApp

This approach uses a default certificate that comes with the app server. Here is a link if you want to create a certificate :
