Connector(s)/SSL

[Geralyn M Hollerman <gm...@louisiana.edu>]

I am currently using Tomcat 4.0.4 and Apache 2.0.46 and the mod_jk2
connector. As I understand it, a client request comes in to port 80,
which Apache is listening on, and if necessary, it passes the request on
to Tomcat via the mod_jk2 connector. Now, I'd like to implement SSL -
but I'm not sure just how to interpret what the FAQs and HOW-TOs are
telling me - I *think* what they're saying is that I should let Apache
take care of SSL and configure Apache for - as in, for mod_ssl. But the
Tomcat docs talk about un-commenting the SSL <Connector> element in
server.xml - do I need to do that as well? How does that work, then,
with 2 <Connectors> - how are Apache and Tomcat joined?

And if I have Apache and Tomcat interfaced, just what do I need to do
for Tomcat when implementing SSL? The Tomcat SSL HOW-TO appears to be
talking about using Tomcat as a standalone - or maybe I'm not reading it
right?

Correct, you only need to setup SSL for Tomcat if you are running it 
standalone and maybe also if you are still listening on port 8080 for 
incoming requests, you might want to comment that listener out if you are and 
don't need it.
