Clarification on SSL/TLS encrypted secure connection
- Why are you asking this?
- Change it to 8082.
Hello Anton, thank you for your answer, I ask point 1 because I have read in the documentation https://www.traccar.org/configuration-file/ that these entries are related in some way to SSL but I was not totally sure if it is necessary to add them.
I have the same question, @Serguin. Also, my web server is already running on port 80, just like yours. I am going to try AWS ACM with ALB and let's see if it works.
@Anton, why change to port 8082 when you are running it on the cloud? We need an additional 443 support that can be achieved by letsencrypt or cloud provider certificates combined with their load balancers, so reverting to port 8082 is not necessary in my opinion.
Hello @sdntech, as @Anton said, I followed his instructions and removed the port entry "80" from my traccar.xml file so that it took the default "8082" and then I followed the guide published at https://www.traccar.org/secure-connection/ and everything worked correctly, thanks again @Anton you are the best.
If Traccar is using port 80, then it will be additional pain to set up web server to use another port for the certificate request. I'm not even sure it supports alternative ports.
As I mentioned, I am going to try with AWS ACM and I got it working.
Here is my setup, read right to left-
- Traccar listening on Port 80 <-- Application load Balancer listening on port 443 <-- User Access via HTTPS

</html>Yeah, but that's not we're discussing in this topic.
@Anton, True, I have no intention of hijacking the discussion. I just want to add value by sharing my knowledge so we can learn from each other, like a true community.
BTW, I really admire you helping us so much with your prompt response.
Sharing is of course welcome, but in this case you might confuse people who just want to follow the official documentation. If you want to share your setup, you should start a new topic.
Hello community! There are 2 specific questions regarding Secure Connection setup:
1- For the configuration mentioned above, should I add the following entries to the "traccar.xml" configuration file?
-protocol
-port
-webSocketPort
-geolocation provider
-ssl certificate file
-sslFileKey
Or is simply the guide published at: https://www.traccar.org/secure-connection/?
2- If I already have the
<entry key='web.port'>80</entry>parameter, should I change it to the default value "8082" and then continue with the secure connection setup?
