I imagine that you've got Tomcat and IIS communicating behind a firewall, if
not on the same machine.  If only IIS is exposed to the internet, why would
you need communication between the two to be encrypted?

>We are producing a medical app. As part of the new HIPAA requirements,
we are to take all precautions necessary to ensure that personal health
information is securely
transmitted electronically. If someone should break through all other
security measures,
the data will still be encrypted, and we have reduced our liability.

Also, If you aren't relying on IIS for encryption, why use it at all?  Why
not just use Tomcat as a stand alone and install the certificate there?

other
apps (which could be ASP) in the same manner as they are used too,
without having our app interfere. What we need is roundtrip encryption - yes
it will be slow through IIS-
but if you have any other ideas for this kind of scenario, please tell me as
I am not an sys admin.
I am a humble software engineer


Are you running ASP apps too?

Tomcat and IIS question

2004-02-26 Thread John MccLain
Can I be running IIS and Tomcat concurrently and have specific webapps
directed to each for processing. I am assuming that Tomcat will be running
as a web server as well as servlet container and that IIS is of course
running as a web server. The goal is to elminate the port number from the
address window for all requests, to use tomcat/ssl for dynamic webapps, and
for other static webapss, have them run through IIS. The general question
is--how can I accomplish this goal???

I believe there is a misunderstanding (I think???)...
I already have tomcat talking to IIS, and IIS talking securely with the
client. The problem is that IIS decrypts ssl requests to process them. In
the case of a servlet request, it forwards the decrypted request to Tomcat
and Tomcat sends the response decrypted back to IIS (I think???). I want all
requests and responses to be encrypted. How can I have all communication
secure???
