Hi Chandrakanth,

Following can give you some idea -

HTTP server can serve for both HTTP and HTTPS traffic on different
ports (default 80 and 443). You can use virtual hosting  for
this or run two http server instances on same machine.

SSL should be deployed on you http server only. Running Appserver on
ssl will slow down performance etc ( and you may need SSL
accelerator).
i.e. redirection between your http server and app server (container)
will be non-secured.

On same machine

https://secure.myserver.com:443
http://web.myserver.com:80

On different machine you can change your SSL port to any valid/free
port.


Better way of doing this is, two seperate machine one serving http
traffic and other serving https traffic.
i.e. running two http server's on two seperate machine's (one running
ssl and other nonssl http server).

Running https and http on same server will be loads of work for CPU
and can make your http website slow.
You need really good machine/server for this setup and do lots of load
testing


On liveserver side you can try this


Create two projects one for secured content and other for non secure
content in your liveserver.
>From http server/instance redirect all non secure through http port 80
server (liveserver project nonsecured) for example /web/index.htm and
secured traffic  for example /secure/secureindex.htm to (secured
project).You can do this by configuring connector on http servers.

You can can even use same project with different directory structure.

I think this is  not a liveserver issue, this is more of web-setup/
Architecture issue.

Above can be achieved in different ways.

Hope this helps.

thanks,
Baliyan
