I would recommend using Apache to handle the ssl connections for you. I've been using apache as the ssl connection point in our production environment and using mod_jk to send things on to tomcat.
I had tried using the ssl connector bundled with tomcat, but after awhile, it just seemed to reach a point where it no longer served up web pages. Perhaps it was just a config thing... At any rate, if you've already got apache ssl working correctly, you just have to add a line to your conf file: Before: <Files ~ "\.(cgi|shtml|phtml?)$"> SSLOptions +StdEnvVars </Files> After: <Files ~ "\.(cgi|shtml|jsp|phtml|php3?)$"> SSLOptions +StdEnvVars </Files> Good Luck! - Dan - > Hi all, > > I'm new to this list and although I read the instructions on how to use > the list, I'd like to apologize in advance if I ever misuse the list! > > --------- > |Question| > --------- > I'm currently working on security with Apache Tomcat and openssl under > Windows 2000.
