qn. on redirectPort for AJP

[fred basset <fr...@gmail.com>]

Hi All,

What is the redirect port in the config. below used for?  Does it mean
I need to have a tomcat connector listening on that port if I want to
use AJP?

    <!-- Define an AJP 1.3 Connector on port 8009 -->
    <Connector port="8009" protocol="AJP/1.3" redirectPort="8443" />

If the requested resource is protected (<transport-guarantee> of CONFIDENTIAL), that's the port Tomcat will use on the redirect to HTTPS.  If you have no protected resources, the setting is immaterial; if you do have protected resources, you will need a <Connector> for that port.  If you have httpd in front of Tomcat, you can set the redirectPort to 443 and let httpd deal with the SSL handshake and send the secure traffic over the regular AJP connection.
