Will this be the next step to combining mod_webapp with
mod_jk?

Maybe this could be the first step to merging the two.
ajp14 could offer some automatic configuration similar
to mod_webapp, as you suggested in the proposal.

I also think that a security mechanism is important.
There should be some form of login for the connector to
make sure that communication with the server is allowed.

I think we should be careful with the security side,
however.  This could lead into a complex discussion
over what is appropriate.  My suggestion would be to
go with something simple, as suggested in the proposal.

This level of security would cover most of the installations
and when someone requires an additional level of security or
interface to other security mechanisms, that could be added
later.

This proposal hits on the most important issues with mod_jk
at this point.

+1

As for the security key, would it be possible to generate
a unique key when mod_jk is first installed?  Maybe we could
create some basic mechanism, similar to the way ssh generates
a key when it is installed.  This would avoid the possibility
of having many TC servers out there that can be logged into
with the default key or no key.  It could avoid the problem
that the admin webapp has with the password needing to be changed
and trust being turned on.

Just a thought.

Mike.

Hi to all,

You could find attached a proposal of evolution to
the current Apache JServ Protocol version 1.3, 
also known as ajp13.  

Let start the comments, questions, remarks cycle.....

PS : I've not cover here the full protocol but only the add-on 
     from ajp13.
