Virtualhost Apache and Tomcat

Question

I have Tomcat and Apache web server. by MOD_JK I configure Apache to send request for http://127.0.0.1/cas to Tomcat.
http://127.0.0.1/cas works correctly and Tomcat response to it.
now I want this https://127.0.0.1/cas to work, (SSL).
I search it and found that I need Virtualhost on Apache that send requests to Tomcat, my question is how can I create a SSL Virtualhost?
and should I remove all configuration that I create before this for http://127.0.0.1/cas?

Answer 1

One vhost entry will reference :80 and the other :443

So for example (stripped down version) This assumes you never want to login with non-ssl.. So redirect to ssl

NameVirtualHost *:80 NameVirtualHost *:443 <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName login.domain.com Redirect / https://login.domain.com/ </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *:443> ServerName login.domain.com SSLEngine on SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/conf/login.domain.com.crt SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/httpd/conf/login.domain.com.key SSLCipherSuite ALL:-ADH:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:-LOW:-SSLv2:-EXP ProxyPass / http://1.2.3.4:8080/cas ProxyPassReverse / http://1.2.3.4:8080/cas </VirtualHost> 

That also assumes tomcat has the ip of 1.2.3.4 and running on port 8080
