Apache 2.2+SSL+Tomocat+mod_JK configuration that accepts both HTTP and HTTPS requests

[kohanm <kohan.massoud@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I set up the  Apache 2.2+SSL+Tomcat 5.5 + mod_Jk  it works fine with HTTP but
when I use https I get Forbidden errors.

How should I configure the Apache2.2  to accept both HTTP and HTTPS requests?
The application uses https and http at the same time and there are not
any restricted directories for HTTPS.

The application uses HTTPS link when users want to login to the
system, the link goes to an external authentication server which
belongs to another organization and after success full login the
external server redirects web page to  our application.The external
authentication server force us to implement HTTPS.


here are the httpd.conf and httpd-ssl.conf files.

httpd.conf file(short describtion):
