Hi,

What was the motivation behind this breaking change to require a secret
or to explitly disable it? What makes an open AJP connector more unsafe
than an open HTTP connector?

We have hundreds of Tomcats behind Apache httpd with mod_jk. My
interpretation is that upgrading Tomcat 8.5 or 9.0 will break that setup
until we disable the secret in all of them (or add a secret in mod_jk
and Tomcat).
I would understand that for a new major version 10.x but not in the
lifecycle of an existing major version.

Regards,

  Stefan
