I have fully configured a domain with SSL using Tomcat as the entire webserver. Going back and forth with having both httpd and Tomcat 6 installed, I had them both talking, passing what they needed back and forth, just fine. I decided since Tomcat is just as good as serving static HTML pages (and there is only 1) in the project, I'd remove httpd and use 6.0.18 as the sole server.
As of right now, I have SSL configured across the server, but not exactly how I want.
Every company that signs up for the service get's it's own unique silo (or instance) on the server to store their files for their program. I have set up a realm for each company that is created on the fly, and everything works fine. What I need to do however is migrate the SSL portion only to the login page of each company.
The setup is http://(domain).com/companyX/login.jsp
What I want is https://domain.com/companyX/login.jsp ~~> [successful authentication!] ~~> http://domain.com/companyX/Main.jsp. Gmail is able to do it (those with a gmail account, take notice next time you login at your URL in the browser), I want to mimic that authentication in this software.
I'm just not sure on how to do that via tomcat and the tomcat docs, while as simple and good as they are, are rather cryptic when it comes to things like this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
