Thank you John, We are on the right track now. We found the documentation about JK and mod_jk
-----Original Message----- From: John Turner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 18, 2003 8:16 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: 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.
