mod_jserv didn't support SSL neither ajp12. You must use mod_jk
with ajp13 to get SSL info forwarded from Apache to Tomcat.

If you look in IPlanet/Netscape code for mod_jk (jk_nsapi_plugin.c)
you'll see that the plugin grab SSL infos. Same thing in IIS connector
(jk_isapi_plugin.c).
But I never use these servers and just couldn't tell you if ajp13 use
there SSL informations.
