You've got a couple of options (remembering that you can't ever have two processes sharing the same port on the same IP address): 1) Run Tomcat on its own port for SSL (often 8443), so your forum URLs would look like https://mydomain.com:8443/whatever 2) Use the JK connector to forward the requests from some part of your IIS site's URL space to Tomcat, so your forum URLs would look like https://mydomain.com/forums/whatever For the first, you'll need to set up SSL on Tomcat, but you won't have to set up JK. For the second, you'll have to set up JK between IIS and Tomcat, but you won't have to set up SSL as IIS will handle that part. The complexity of setting up SSL is lower than that of setting up JK - or, at least, we seem to get marginally more questions on the list about JK than we do about SSL! Does this help to get you started, or have I answered the wrong question? - Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
