BAEL-6650 Unified SSL Support Across the Spring Framework

[vkumarprashar]

This MR enables SSL support in the Spring Boot application by configuring SSL properties in the application.yml file. The server is set to run on port 8443 with SSL enabled using a JKS keystore.

Changes:

1. SSL Configuration:

   • Enabled SSL for the Spring Boot application.
   • Configured the application to use a keystore (keystore.jks) located in the classpath, with the appropriate password and key password.

2. Keystore Configuration:

   • The keystore (keystore.jks) contains the private key and server certificate necessary to establish a secure connection via SSL.
   • Passwords for the keystore and the private key are set for secure access to the certificate.

Benefits:

• Secure Communication: SSL encryption is enabled for all communications with the Spring Boot application, ensuring secure data transmission.
• Standardized SSL Configuration: Using a keystore to manage SSL certificates simplifies the configuration and helps centralize certificate management.

Testing:

• The application was tested locally by starting the Spring Boot application on https://localhost:8443.
• SSL was verified by accessing the application and ensuring that it uses HTTPS.
