Mohamed, I've found that running SSL through Apache has worked well. Unless you're using Tomcat as a standalone, I don't believe there'd be any reason to mess with the SSL directives in Tomcat.
For Apache to work you just need mod_ssl, apache and openssl to do it. Then the SSL config. Goes into httpd.conf file. You can email me back directly ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) for more instructions on how I got it to work for Apache 1.3.27, Tomcat 4.1.12 and Linux RH 7.1 Might be different in Windows or not.

When I place an SSLrequireSSL in the <Location> tag of the servlet area that I am trying to enable ( lets say the /admin provided by Tomcat ) I get the URL changing to http://(servername):443/admin when I try an https connection. Is there something I have to change in Tomcat (maybe server.xml) to enable this communication to take place. In Tomcat 3.2.2 with apache 1.3.x this worked fine as I only placed basic authentication for the servlet zones and it understood that that was SSL somehow. What am I missing. I also tried to place the include directive in the virtual host of the SSL port but that did not even resolve the servlets and gave me internal error. Any one have a quick clue. Or a document link I can read.
