Hi - I desperately need some info about mod_jk.  I have managed to get 
it set up fine in a http environment, and everything works fine.  Tomcat 
serves dynamic content.  Apache serves static content.  All good.  Now 
... the next thing I want to do is handle http/https - this has thrown 
me for a "loop" (hopefully not infinite!).

Here are my requirements:

Authenticate the user over https and have that authentication "stick" 
over http.
Ensure that, when a user requests a https resource over http, the server 
(Tomcat) will send a redirect to the same path over https.
Ensure that non-secure paths requested over https will redirect to http.

 From what I understand (and correct me if I am wrong - please!) this 
should all be possible.  I'm not scared to "get my hands dirty", but I 
do not possess a single clue about how to acheive this.  My "best guess" 
at this point is that I can't do this with mod_jk, but I've seen things 
that indicate to me that it _can_ be done with mod_jk.

To have http/https - the way I understand it - I would have to have two 
services.  That would mean that the authentication would not be shared 
over http/https - right?  Many things can be done without really caring 
much about having the session be the same over http/https - but certain 
things cannot (that I see)!  How do you all do this?  I know someone has 
to be doing it!

I'm super-fuzzy on this, but I _have_ successfully implemented Tomcat + 
Apache using mod_jk.  If someone could be so kind as to ... show me 
where I should RTFM or STFW ... or give me some "you know how to do this 
- it's just like <insert comparison here>", I would be 
supercalafragilisticexpialedociously grateful!

Thanks in advance for even having taken the time to read this.

Regards,

Eddie Bush
