How does SSL work when Tomcat runs behind IIS 6.0?

  • 772

I have a web service hosted on Tomcat that is behind IIS 6.0. I use Tomcat Connector to connect Tomcat to IIS.

My web service opens an SSL connection to another server:

  1. Is the SSL connection made from Tomcat, or from IIS, and which SSL keystore (Windows vs. Tomcat) is used?
  2. Is it possible to see the outbound SSL connection in a log file?
iis-6 tomcat6

    1. If you mean in your Java code you're opening an SSL connection, then it's made from tomcat and uses tomcat's keystore.

    2. Only if you log it. I recommend logging every hit to an external dependency in an app.
