Starting Sockso with SSL

If you would like to start Sockso using SSL instead of the default then the most basic way to do this is just to use the command line switch.

$> java -jar sockso.jar --ssl

This uses the default unsigned certificate in the keystore that is provided with the distribution. If you would like to specify the location of your own keystore then you will need to specify where to find it, and the password as command line arguments.

$> java -jar sockso.jar --ssl --sslKeystore=/home/me/keystore \
   --sslKeystorePassword=secret

NOTE: Running Sockso over SSL is not well tested and will impose a performance hit on your server.
