Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol has been a standard across the internet for securing Web Applications. This trusted technology is quite simple to embed in your existing/new Web Applications. Here I will explain steps to implement SSL with “Apache” as Web Server and “JBoss/Tomcat” as Application Server.

A Web Application generally has three servers; Web, Application and Database. Your first request hits the Web Server which will handle the SSL authentication and forward request to the App Server which will process the request and send the response back through the same route.
