I am a DevOps brand new to Apache/Tomcat. I am taking on a task to refresh company's 15 year old website in a Docker setup. It is all fine until I get to the SSL part.
the setup:
--One Tomcat that host the front-end web application, it's all just web pages, sending request to back-end load-balancer, no SSL, no keystore loaded.
--One Apache Load-balancer handles request from front-end, pass through ajp to back-end workers. SSL cert and keys are loaded here. Logic is load-balancer will handles security check and simply pass the request onto workers, workers don't need to load SSL anymore.
--Four instance of workers actually takes request from load-balancer. no SSL, no keystore loaded.
My problem is, the old website wasn't setup correctly in terms of certificate (self-signed). We are trying to do it right (got godaddy cert) but I have no idea how it should be done. So I don't even know whether my current SSL setup is correct or not. Does front-end Tomcat needs to load a keystore file in Connector? Does each back-end workers need to load keystore file in Connector?
I am so new I am not even sure my questions make senses or not please be a little patient with me.
Thanks, please help. |

Hi,
an example config
| Code: |
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName example.com
DocumentRoot "/web/htdocs"
<Directory "/web/htdocs">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
<Proxy "balancer://cluster">
BalancerMember "ajp://app1.example.com:8009" loadfactor=1
BalancerMember "ajp://app2.example.com:8009" loadfactor=2
ProxySet lbmethod=bytraffic
</Proxy>
ProxyPass "/app" "balancer://cluster/app"
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile conf/certs/example.com/fullchain.pem
SSLCertificateKeyFile conf/certs/example.com/privkey.pem
<Files ~"\.(cgi|shtml|phtml|php|htm|html?)$>
SSLOptions +StdEnvVars
</Files>
</VirtualHost>
