That depends. What does tomcat use to preserve the user session? Does everything work as expected when using the webapp directly on the tomcat server? What it might be is that your webapp sends a cookie, but not with the right cookiedomain set. In this case the client's browser will not sent the cookie back, and your webapp won't know who the request comes from. Possible solutions: - Ask the developers to set the correct cookiedomain in the webapp. - You may need to set the ProxyPassReverseCookieDomain and ProxyPassReverseCookiePath directives.
