Looks like Steve D. George already answered the SSL setup question,
but as far as cookies go.  No, you cannot share cookies between http
and https.  The reason is not a deficiency in Tomcat or Apache, the
reason is security.  Actually, you might be able to read cookies set
in http while in https, but most certainly *not* vice-vera.

Take a look at the Netscape Cookie Spec for more info:
