Hi,
Thanks for the response.

apache is listening on standard port 80. Tomcat is listening on standard port 8080 with a redirect to 8443 for SSL connections. So the request http://www.app2.com comes in on port 80 (apache) and then the mod_jk connector forwards this request to 8080 (which is then redirected to 8443). The web.xml file of app2 specifies the security-constraint to ensure all pages are SSL encrypted.

Snippets from all the relevant files are shown below (with tags to indicate start and end of each file).

We are running tomcat 5.5.16 on Fedora Core 4 OS. We
just installed apache2.0 as a front to serve the pages using the mod_jk connector. There are 2 apps on tomcat (virtual hosting), one of which needs to be SSL enabled (lets say app1 and app2, app2 is the one that needs to be SSL enabled).

Everything seems to be working fine on FireFox, both
apps can be accessed fine. When we access www.app1.com pages are served as expected, and when we access www.app2.com the browser detects the certificate and switches to https

But things are not well when it comes to IE.
www.app1.com works the same as FF, and the app can be accessed. But when we try to access www.app2.com, IE shows the certificate and asks if we would like to proceed. When we click on 'Yes', the browser cannot find the app after that and returns "Page cannot be displayed error". Also, directly accessing the https site by using the URL https://www.app2.com:8443 works fine on IE as well.
so its basically the switching from http to https
for app2 that doesnt seem to work.

I dont understand why this works on FF but not on
IE..!
I hope someone can shed some light on this. I can
post the httpd.conf , server.xml and workers.properties files if that
helps..

Thanks,
-Riz.
Not sure what you mean that the browser detects the
certificate and then changes to https.  Also the
standard https port is 443 and not 8443, so I'm not
sure how anything would automatically think
https://www.app2.com would be linked to
https://www.app2.com:8443 when the default would be
https://www.app2.com:443 (https://www.app2.com).  I
can't tell you why it works in FF, but given what you
have provided I would not expect FF to work actually. Are you using a redirect or javascript to reload the
page or something to redirect the http to your https
site?
