Hello,

Our team is tasked with taking over and upgrade an old 2.14 nexus env.  
I already tested a 2.15 in-place upgrade, then a 3.85 http migration.

I would like to enable https, redirect http to https on port 443.

I’ve configured my nexus .prop like that based on another community post.

application-port=80  
application-port-ssl=443  
nexus-args=${jetty.etc}/jetty.xml,${jetty.etc}/jetty-http.xml,${jetty.etc}/jetty-requestlog.xml,${jetty.etc}/jetty-http.xml

Port 80 is operationnal, but I’m not able to use https.

Is someone running it in https on the default port?  
Next step is to link the cert issued by our PKI.

Thanks,  
Ren

Hi, Renaut,  
first things first, is your SSL port open?  
Documentation [Configuring SSL](https://help.sonatype.com/en/configuring-ssl.html) seems quite straight forward. Are you able to bind on a port sush as 443 with the user running the service?  
A better alternative would be using Nexus Repo behind reverse proxy.

So updating Nexus repo 2.x to Nexus 3.x seems a bit more work than just flipping some settings. Did you perhaps made a typo in your post?
