如何配置ml-gradle在双向SSL环境下向REST服务器加载模块

Hey Dan, I’ve dealt with this exact scenario before when setting up ml-gradle for 2-way SSL environments—let me break down the specific properties you need in your gradle.properties file, since the docs are a bit sparse on this detail.

First, start with the base SSL enablement (you might already have these, but worth confirming):

• mlSsl=true: Tells ml-gradle to use SSL for all connections
• mlPort=8001: Set this to your MarkLogic SSL port (default is 8001, adjust if yours is different)

Next, the critical client certificate configuration for 2-way SSL:

• mlKeystoreFile=/absolute/path/to/client-keystore.jks: Path to your client keystore file (can be relative to your project root too, like ./certs/client.jks)
• mlKeystorePassword=your-keystore-pass: Password for the keystore itself
• mlKeyPassword=your-key-pass: If your client key has a separate password from the keystore, specify it here. If they’re the same, you might get away with omitting this, but it’s safer to set it explicitly.
• mlTruststoreFile=/absolute/path/to/truststore.jks: Path to the truststore that contains the CA certificate(s) for verifying MarkLogic’s server certificate. If your keystore already includes trusted CAs, you can reuse the same file here, but separating them is cleaner.
• mlTruststorePassword=your-truststore-pass: Password for the truststore.

Here’s a quick example of what your gradle.properties might look like:

# Base SSL settings
mlSsl=true
mlPort=8001

# Client keystore (for 2-way SSL authentication)
mlKeystoreFile=./certs/my-client-keystore.jks
mlKeystorePassword=SecurePass123!
mlKeyPassword=SecureKeyPass456!

# Truststore (to trust MarkLogic's server certificate)
mlTruststoreFile=./certs/my-truststore.jks
mlTruststorePassword=SecureTrustPass789!

A few extra tips to avoid headaches:

• If you’re using PKCS12 instead of JKS for your keystore/truststore, add mlKeystoreType=PKCS12 and mlTruststoreType=PKCS12 to the properties.
• Double-check file paths—relative paths are resolved from your project’s root directory (where you run ./gradlew commands).
• If MarkLogic uses a self-signed certificate, make sure you import it into your truststore first (using keytool commands) otherwise the client will reject the connection.
• Test your setup with ./gradlew mlPing—this simple task will attempt to connect to MarkLogic and let you know if the SSL/certificate configuration is working.
