Thanks Mark, I am working on parallely setting up another environment with Tomcat 6.x, however to clear an urgent audit I need to show the Apache connector uses secure protocol to exchange the data between Apache and tomcat. Both these servers are in DMZ and on different servers.
Hello Chris, Thanks for your valuable advice, here is how my configuration looks like. *Apache conf:* ProxyPassMatch ^/(.*\.jsp|.*\.do)(;jsessionid=.*)?$ balancer://lb1/$1 *Balancer Conf:* <Proxy balancer://lb1> BalancerMember https://tomcat02.us.rdigest.com:8443 BalancerMember https://tomcat02.us.rdigest.com:8543 ProxySet stickysession=JSESSIONID ProxySet nofailover=Off </Proxy> *Tomcat conf:* Tomcat1: <Connector port="8443" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75" enableLookups="false" disableUploadTimeout="true" acceptCount="100" scheme="https" secure="true" clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" /> Tomcat2: <Connector port="8543" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75" enableLookups="false" disableUploadTimeout="true" acceptCount="100" scheme="https" secure="true" clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" /> Thanks again for your assistance extended.
