Hi suresh
To make your pages with HTTPS protocol you should first have a server
certificate from some digital certificate vendors like verisign, I hope you
must have set up this one?
To do the redirection in Apache, you have to first set up the certificate
into the apache server, please browse through details on setting up secure
servers in apache, you can also try mod_SSL
which is also from apache group and can be used in setting up secure
servers.
To redirect the pages, you have got nothing much to do with Tomcat, create
directories with all the secure pages in one and rest to another directory,
after setting up your apache web servers SSL, mount the directory (with
pages to be secured, in your case the login page) and mount the other pages
in two separate directories in the root.
At the time of mounting your secure dirt's you will set the protocol to be
HTTPS, hence apache will handle all the pages in that directory with HTTPS
protocol in the default port (443)(note, you should also set the ports when
you setup your SSL)
