Yes, I do it!
What needs to be remembered is that since you are doing the SSL bit in
Apache, you don't use the 'transport guarantee' thang in Tomcat (which
is how Tomcat 'knows' it has to switch to HTTPS). SO, on my site, I have
an unprotected home page .../drs/home with a link to the protected home
page .../drs/private/home. Along the way, Tomcat authenticates the user
via my login form .../drs/login. The login form (and every subsequent
page of course) needs to be SSL-encrypted.
So, here's how I do this in httpd.conf...
VirtualHost macx.ei.jrc.it
ServerName macx.ei.jrc.it
hostname:/drs
# Redirect Tomcat's http:.../login request to https:.../login

Re: automatically redirect http to https in tomcat
The only way I can think of to do that is to mirror your secure content with nonsecure matching pages with either META or Javascript redirects, or using JSP (PHP and other server-side languages could do it too) to do a header write. - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 11, 2003 4:11 PM Subject: automatically redirect http to https in tomcat Is it possible to automatically redirect any http request to https in an Apache + Tomcat environment?

In the httpd.conf under the virtual host listening to port 80 have the line RedirectPermanent / https://my.domain.com if you want it to do for specific content you may have to play with the above statement or redirect rules. The above would be for all http requests. -MN -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tue, February 11, 2003 4:12 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: automatically redirect http to https in tomcat Is it possible to automatically redirect any http request to https in an Apache + Tomcat environment?

RE: automatically redirect http to https in tomcat
Actually I want to force the https access of my context 1. I included ssl.conf in httpd.conf. 2. In ssl.conf, I enabled SSL and VirtualHost _default_:* ServerName my.domain.com:443 .. /VirtualHost 3. In my server.xml, the only connector loaded is a secure one. Connector className=org.apache.coyote.tomcat4.CoyoteConnector port=8009 .. redirectPort=8443 scheme=https secure=true ../ I assume any http request will be automatically redirected as https to 8443. However, if I type http://my.domain.com/mycontext, apache gave me a bad Request page. Bad Request Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand. Reason: You're speaking plain HTTP to an SSL-enabled server port. Instead use the HTTPS scheme to access this URL, please. Hint: https://my.domain.com/ Am I totally wrong? Any thought besides RedirectPermanent and the above no-user-friendly remind?

[EMAIL PROTECTED]: Yes, I use struts. It used to automatically redirect http request to https with https setup in ssl.conf. After I upgraded to b3, 4.1.18, 2.0.44, http is http and https is https. What I've done in Struts, is to subclass ActionServlet, replace the doGet() and doPost() methods, and in the replaced methods test if HttpServletRequest.isSecure() is true or false, and if false, redirect to an HTTPS URL. This worked with Tomcat 3.2 and the Jk connector to apache, but didn't work with Tomcat 4.1.12 and the Coyote connector (I had to use the Jk connector), but it now works with tomcat 4.1.18 and the Coyote connector (which seems to be able to handle a lot more traffic than the okd Jk connector). - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: automatically redirect http to https in tomcat
I got this working by using separate jkmounts for two different virtual hosts. One for http, the other for https. Then I have a redirect to move to specific page.

RE: automatically redirect http to https in tomcat
One more thing. Make sure NOT to use an include for the mod_jk.conf file. Then it becomes global and screws you up. At least that's what I figured was happening.
