I know that mod_jk is the battle tested connector between Apache and Tomcat, but as I understand it the SSL connection generally terminates at the Apache web server and the traffic between Apache and Tomcat (to the AJP connector) is unencrypted. Two questions:
1) Does mod_proxy_ajp provide for any encryption between the web server and the app server (Tomcat) that mod_jk does not? 2) If the answer to number 1 above is "NO". Is it possible to keep the server certificates on the app servers and so that the connection from the client to the app server is encrypted all the way through? In this case the apache web server would simply function as a load balancer/failover solution. Thanks, Jim
