I'm using jsf 2 + jaas +
ssl + tomcat 6.0.26
I have in my web site 2 paths:
/faces/protected/* which uses
SSL
/faces/unprotected/* which don't uses
SSL.
I've put this in my web.xml:
<login-config>
<auth-method>FORM</auth-method>
<form-login-config>
<form-login-page>/faces/login.jsp</form-login-page>
<form-error-page>/faces/error.jsp</form-error-page>
</form-login-config>
</login-config>
<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>Secure Resource</web-resource-name>
<description/>
<url-pattern>/faces/unprotected/*</url-pattern>
<http-method>GET</http-method>
<http-method>POST</http-method>
<http-method>HEAD</http-method>
<http-method>PUT</http-method>
<http-method>OPTIONS</http-method>
<http-method>TRACE</http-method>
<http-method>DELETE</http-method>
</web-resource-collection>
<auth-constraint>
<role-name>C</role-name>
</auth-constraint>

</user-data-constraint>
</security-constraint>
<security-role>
<description> Role Client </description>
<role-name>C</role-name>
</security-role>
and this is my server.xml:
<Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
maxThreads="400"
maxKeepAliveRequests="1"
acceptCount="100"
connectionTimeout="3000"
redirectPort="8443"
compression="on"
compressionMinSize="2048"
noCompressionUserAgents="gozilla, traviata"
compressableMimeType="text/javascript,text/css,text/html, text/xml,text/plain,application/x-javascript,application/javascript,application/xhtml+xml" />
<Connector port="8443" protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11AprProtocol" SSLEnabled="true"
maxThreads="400" scheme="https" secure="true"
clientAuth="optional" sslProtocol="TLS"
SSLCertificateFile="path/to/crt"
SSLCertificateKeyFile="path/to/pem"/>
when i enter to protected paths, it switches to HTTPS (port 8443), but when i enter to path /faces/unprotected/somthing... it stays using HTTPS.
what i want is when i enter to unprotected paths, it revert-back to non-SSL communications ( otherwise, i have to re-login again when i set the exact adress in my browser).
What's wrong with my configurations ?
Is there a way so i can do such a thing ?
