SSL Configuration for Form-Based Auth.

[Danny Morgan <dm...@corpmedia.com>]

First this is what I have installed:

Redhat Linux v7.3
w/
apache-1.3.23-14
mod_ssl-2.8.7-6
Sun's Java jdk-1.4.1
Jakarta tomcat-4.1.12
mod_jk2

I currently have the web-app up and running just fine, however I'm 
running into a few problems with form-based auth using SSL.  Apache is 
configured to handle the SSL connections from users, it works fine under 
with "NONE" in <transport-guarantee> (http) but errors out with 
"CONFIDENTIAL" in <transport-guarantee> (https) with "Redirection limit 
for this URL exceeded. Unable to load the requested page".

Let me know if you need any more info.

Thanks,
Danny
