Besides configuring SSL as Mark T pointed out, you need to read section
12 of the servlet spec:
http://jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/mrel/jsr154/index.html

Section 12.5.3 is specifically for form-based authentication.

To force SSL for everything, use a <transport-guarantee> of CONFIDENTIAL
in conjunction with a <url-pattern> of /* in your app's WEB-INF/web.xml
file.  For example:
  <security-constraint>
    <web-resource-collection>
      <web-resource-name>Protect Everything</web-resource-name>
      <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
    </web-resource-collection>
    <auth-constraint>
       <role-name>RequiredRoleHere</role-name>
    </auth-constraint>
    <user-data-constraint>
      <transport-guarantee>CONFIDENTIAL</transport-guarantee>
    </user-data-constraint>
  </security-constraint>
