Re: Running servlet via SSL???
You will configure Apache to handle SSL. You will configure Apache to load mod_jk as a DSO. You will configure your SSL virtual host in httpd.conf to forward JSP and servlet requests to Tomcat via the AJP connector which, in a default Tomcat install, is enabled by default on port 8009. This is all covered extensively in the documentation and the archives, it comes up frequently. John Carlos Oliva wrote: Thank you very much for your reponse.

Re: Running servlet via SSL???
Did you do the full SSL setup on Apache? You can't just switch from http to https without doing all the configuration and having a SSL virtual host setup. RE: your question, yes, it is possible to use SSL, many people are doing so. If you can be more specific about what you've done and what error you're getting, perhaps we can be of more help.

RE: Running servlet via SSL???
Hi John, Thank you for your response. Apache seems to be able to work with either http or https. For instance, I can navigate to Apache's welcome screen via http:// or https:// Through Webmin, I can see that Apache Webserver has two virtual servers, namely: Default Server(Address any, ports any) and Virtual Server (address any, port 443) However, I see the welcome screen of Tomcat if I use http://:8080 but not if I use https::8080 or any other combination of ports and http or https. Furthermore, servlets run via http://:8080/ , but not https://... Or http://:8443/... Looking at the server.xml file, I see the following lines: !-- Define the Tomcat Stand-Alone Service -- Service name=Tomcat-Standalone . . . , !-- Define a non-SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8080 -- Connector className=org.apache.catalina.connector.http.HttpConnector . . . And !-- Define an SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8443 -- !-- Connector className=org.apache.catalina.connector.http.HttpConnector From this, I am concluding that Apache is set to run with http or https, that Tomcat is configured as stand alone -- not via ssl. So, since I have JDK1.4.x installed, I am assuming that I just need to create the right certificates and configure the server.xml file for tomcat to enable Tomcat to work with ssl in stand alone mode. Right?
