Hi, Jason, the instructions that Tim linked on the wiki seem OK. I can tell you that our sysadmins urged us to employ mod_proxy instead of mod_jk, but in practice we've used both. Functionally they're both just ways to reverse proxy to Tomcat. We're currently doing what makes our sysadmins happy, and using mod_proxy.
One point that may not be clear, and from your message I figured I'd better mention it, is that you do not need to employ SSL on the Tomcat side of things, as long as your Apache front end/reverse proxy is on the same server as Tomcat. The reason being that you don't need to encrypt connections that are just going across localhost, that's overhead you don't need. So, just the AJP 1.3 Connector on port 8009 is all you need. You are probably going to want to set up SSL on your Apache front end (ample documentation on how to do that on the Apache site), and then just reverse proxy to Tomcat. Hope that helps, and good luck! --Hardy > -----Original Message----- > From: Jason Fowler [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Monday, October 18, 2010 2:02 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [Dspace-tech] SSL with mod-jk and ajp > > Can anyone explain how to configure SSL on Dspace with mod-jk and ajp? > > Thanks, > Jason > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > ------ > Download new Adobe(R) Flash(R) Builder(TM) 4 > The new Adobe(R) Flex(R) 4 and Flash(R) Builder(TM) 4 (formerly > Flex(R) Builder(TM)) enable the development of rich applications that > run > across multiple browsers and platforms.
