Hello all,

Is anyone here succesfully using Apache httpd/mod_jk as a frontend to 
Tomcat AND the <security constraint> directive in dspace-web.xml (to 
restrict the use of SSL to certain services only)?
And would anyone like to share an example of how exactly this is set up?
 
I have installed everything according to the ModJk instructions on the 
wiki, as well as mod_ssl for Apache, and it all works fine for any page 
accessed through port 80/8080.
Tomcat is set up to redirect all calls from mod_jk to port 8080, as it 
should be, and these directions work. But it won't direct anything to 
443/8443 (it just hangs when trying to access a protected page, 
alternatively I get a Page not found error).

It might be that the problem is in the Apache mod_ssl config (I am not 
an SSL expert), although https requests to Apache itself works fine.
Or should you use some other method than the settings in dspace-web.xml 
to accomplish this (as in this case the SSL part should be handled by 
httpd, and not by Tomcat)?
And, of course, I might be thinking in the wrong direction, about what 
is being redirected and where (I am no Tomcat expert either, which is 
the main reason why I would like to be able to do some things in httpd 
instead...).

If anyone have any ideas, examples or just some hint on where to start 
looking, I know many of you use this set up, I would be very happy to know.


Many thanks,
Urban A.
