Hello, I am very new to Tomcat and am trying to determine which connector to use when using Tomcat with Apache. Here is my situation:
1. I am setting up a Drupal site that will be publicly accessible to anyone on the internet. I intend to use Apache Solr as the search mechanism for said site, hence my need for Tomcat. 2. Although most of the information on the site is public, some of it is only allowed to be seen by people logged in with a specific Drupal role. 3. The restricted data should not appear in the search results when a search is performed by a user without the proper role. However, all of the data -- even the restricted stuff -- needs to be indexed by Solr so that it is findable by those logged in with the specific role. 4. Drupal and Solr will be running on the same machine. 5. Solr should only be accessible by Drupal. 6. Access to Drupal should be over https to prevent the disclosure of the restricted data when search results are returned over the internet to an authorized user. Given these constraints I am not sure which connector would be the best choice. I came across this article from 2010 as a result of my (mostly unsuccessful) Googling: http://www.tomcatexpert.com/blog/2010/06/16/deciding-between-modjk-modproxyhttp-and-modproxyajp but since I am just the de facto programmer at my work I am not well-versed in system administration so it is highly likely that there is something obvious that I am missing. I have searched the list archives as well, but I think my search was too broad or otherwise used the wrong terminology so I apologize if this question has been answered multiple times already. If so, I am happy to RTFM and would appreciate any and all pointers to existing threads. I have successfully installed Tomcat 7.0.25 on my dev machine, which is a Mac, and I am using Apache 2.2.14. The production machine will be Windows if that makes any difference. Thank you! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
