title: F5 load balancer with Apache web and Tomcat SSL Issue
body: <p>We have a web application hosted on Tomcat server (clustered), with two Apache web servers sitting in front and F5 load balance5 in front of apache. SSL is configured in F5 load balancer. Now whenever someone accesses our application using the load balancer's secure url, our java web application does not evaluate request.isSecure to be true. Is there any setting I need to do enable this.</p>
  
  <p>In our apache web server we have the following configuration using proxy balancer</p>
  
  <pre><code>ServerName ip:80
  
  ProxyPass /balancer-manager !
  ProxyPass / balancer://mycluster/ stickysession=JSESSIONID nofailover=Off
  ProxyPassReverse / balancer://mycluster/
  &lt;Proxy balancer://mycluster&gt;
            BalancerMember ajp://ipapp1:8009 route=jvm1 loadfactor=1
            BalancerMember ajp://ipapp2:8009 route=jvm2 loadfactor=1 status=+H
            ProxySet lbmethod=byrequests
  &lt;/Proxy&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I tried to change the connector details in server.xml of tomcat by adding <strong>scheme= "https", secure="true" and proxyPort="443"</strong> for 8080 but it did not work.</p>
  
  <p>What am I missing here?</p>
