Enable SSL over iWS4.1SP7 & iAS 6.0SP2

Question

Hi,
I am running iPlanet Web Server (WS4.1SP7)with two instances running, with one instance runing in "Encryption" mode for SSL access.
Both instances access the same WAR modules in iPlanet Application Server (iAS6SP2).
I have successfully installed the SSL cert in the iWS encryted instance.
However, SSL access was available across the whole site, we want the Login module (login.war) with SSL enabled only.
I have enabled "secure session" for the login.war Web Application module. However iWS won't automatically switch to SSL mode.
So far I only came up with this solution:
Set-up URL prefixes (https://mysite/) in iWS with /NASApp/login/ so that all access to http://mysite/NASApp/login will redirect to https://mysite/NASApp/login
(I don't think this is a good idea as the whole site still have SSL enabled (i.e. https://mysite/index.html)
What are the correct steps to configure SSL access (directory level) in iWS and iAS?
Are there any documents to follow?
Thanks,

Answer 1

I have read the SSO admin guide, and performed the steps for enabling SSL on the SSO, and followed the steps to configure mod_osso with virtual host on port 4443 as mentioned in the admin guide.
The case now is that when I call my form (which is developed by forms developer suite 10g and deployed on the forms server which is SSO enabled) , it calls the SSO module on port 7777 using http (the default behaviour).
on a URL that looks like this :
http://myhostname:7777/pls/orasso/orasso.wwsso_app_admin.ls_login?Site2pstoreToken=.......
and gives the error :
( Forbidden
You don't have permisission to access /sso/auth on this server at port 7777)
when I manually change the URL to :
https://myhostname:4443/pls/orasso/orasso.wwsso_app_admin.ls_login?Site2pstoreToken=.......
the SSO works correctly.
The question is :
How can I change this default behaviour and make it call SSO on port 4443 using https instead ?
Any ideas ?
Thanks in advance
