Hello Chris,

Thank you for the response.I am using a self signed certificate. How to
make httpd trust the certificate that Tomcat is presenting?

Status code 403 Forbidden issue for websocket creation using WSS protocol

[nishant singh]

Hi,

   I am creating a websocket connection to server using "wss" protocol from
client.  I have configured apache as proxy(mod proxy and
mod_proxy_wstunnel.so module is enabled in Apache httpd.conf file) to my
tomcat server. In apache VirtualHost for port 443 is created.Attached is
Apache httpd.conf file for reference.Tomcat connector for ssl is mentioned
below. I am getting response  status code 403 Forbidden for websocket
request sent from client using "wss" protocol. The  same set-up works fine
using "ws" protocol websocket connection on port 80 of apache proxied to
port 8080 of tomcat.I assume that SSL handshake is failing in this
scenario. Please suggest the solution.
Tomcat version:-9.0.0.M13
Apache version:- 2.4.23

==in Tomcat Server.xml connector configuration on port 443==
 

==Chrome debugger trace for this Request

===sample websocket code for request creation From client

 this.websocket = new
WebSocket("wss://localhost:443/NG/nmsgServletApp/wsHandler/");

  this.websocket.onopen =  (evt) => {
  this.websocket.send("Hello Nishant");
  };
//nmsgServletApp:--> is my application name which is deployed in tomcat
//wsHandler:--> is the server side websocket handler mapping name
//NG:--> Proxy token for web-application deployed in Tomcat
