Just to make it clear what from my opinion the problem is:

This new "secretRequired" attribute prevents the Tomcat from starting 
flawlessly. It was first introduced with the Ghostcat release.
So this is a wish from me to the Tomcat developers: Please set this new 
attribute not mandatory but optional. So that I can run the newest Tomcat 
without this attribute which I do now with the pre-Ghostcat releases.

Have a nice weekend

Betreff: Re: AW: AW: AJP Connector issue

Ok, so it looks like :
- the request is effectively reaching tomcat, and that it is tomcat sending 
back the 403 response.
- the URL is "/", so presumably it is "well-formed" etc.

Furthermore, according to something you wrote below, both Apache httpd and 
tomcat are running on the same Linux host.

This reminds me vaguely of some issue previously (and recently) discussed on 
the list, with some request attributes which tomcat did not like..
But I do not remember ptecisely what the issue was, and it also seems to me 
that this concerned an IIS front-end, not Apache httpd.

Perhaps someone else on the list has a better idea.


Incidentally, it also seems that you are, in httpd, proxying *all* requests to 
tomcat.
Which raises the question of why you have a httpd front-end in the first place.
(But that's a later discussion maybe, let's first see why "/" doesn't work)
