Subsonic.war + Tomcat + Apache2 und SSL

[MReptile]

Dear Community

I have a question about SSL-Connections.
I managed to forward a connection from the apache2-Webserver to Tomcat 6 using the mod_jk module.
Apache is configured to use only https-connections. However I am not sure if there is really everything encrypted, because the Connection between my apache2-Server and Tomcat6 is definitely not.
They are running on the same machine and just the apache2 Server uses a SSL-Certificate.

How can I determine if really everything that reaches the client is securely encrypted?
Mozilla Firefox shows "https://" but as it is somehow forwarded to an unencrypted Tomcat6 I am not really sure if this is true!

Are the files encrypted by Apache2 before they are sent over the internet, while using mod_jk.

Thanks for your help..

Do not know about any of the technical details of your setup but if your browser is showing a https address and the padlock or whatever is showing then it is encrypted.

Like BKK said, if your connection from your browser to the Apache server shows "https", then you ARE encrypted - from your browser to the Apache server. Can't say one way or another whether the forwarding from Apache to Tomcat is SSL or not, but if they are running on the same machine, you probably don't need that to be encrypted.
