You should create a security constraint for the /private branch of the pages
in the web.xml file of your application. The following frangment should be
rather close to what you're looking for (/private/* require that user is
authenticated and are only available through a protected connection).
<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<url-pattern>/private/*</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>
<auth-constraint>
<role-name>*</role-name>
<user-data-constraint>
<transport-guarantee>CONFIDENTIAL</transport-guarantee>
</user-data-constraint>
</security-constraint>
On top of that, you'll naturally need to set up Tomcat so that it also
accepts https connections.
