SSL between httpd and JBossWEB
11.2. Using SSL between httpd and JBossWEB Using https allows to encrypt communications betwen httpd and JBossWEB. But due to the ressources it needs that no advised to use it in high load configuration. (See Encrypting connection between httpd and TC for detailed instructions). httpd is configured to be a client for AS/TC so it should provide a certificate AS/TC will accept and have a private key to encrypt the data, it also needs a CA certificate to valid the certificate AS/TC will use for the connection. SSLProxyEngine On SSLProxyVerify require SSLProxyCACertificateFile conf/cacert.pem SSLProxyMachineCertificateFile conf/proxy.pem conf/proxy.pem should contain both key and certificate. The certificate must be trusted by Tomcat via the CA in truststoreFile of . conf/cacert.pem must contain the certificat of the CA that signed the AS/TC certificate. The correspond key and certificate are the pair specificed by keyAlias and truststoreFile of the . Of course the must be the https one (normally on port 8443).
