I have built a spring MVC application using Spring Tool Suite. I also used Spring Security to handle access permissions and login/logout.
The application is currently using http protocol, but I want to move to https completely.

What should I do?
Should I also reconfigure STS’ VFabric tc Server to run the appliction? If so, how?

    You need to configure your application container if you want to use https protocol.

    VFabric tc Server docs about SSL:

    http://pubs.vmware.com/vfabric5/index.jsp?topic=/com.vmware.vfabric.tc-server.2.6/admin/manual-config-ssl.html

    Still you can use Spring Security features. HTTP/HTTPS Channel Security is achieved with ChannelProcessingFilter. Fortunately it can be easily configured with Spring Security XML Namespace.

    Spring Docs:

    If your application supports both HTTP and HTTPS, and you require
    that particular URLs can only be accessed over HTTPS, then this is
    directly supported using the requires-channel attribute on intercept-url

    Example Config:

    <http>
    <intercept-url pattern="/secure/**" access="ROLE_USER" requires-channel="https"/>
    <intercept-url pattern="/**" access="ROLE_USER" requires-channel="any"/>
</http>
