apache jboss/catalina ssl security jaas

[0fer]

i would like to solve a problem w/ jboss/catalina jaas jbosssx security.
i have a form based login and subsequent jsp/servlet/ejb invocations
that work ok at port 8080 but when attempting to use ssl from apache
(443 or 8443) the following error message is issued: file not found.
attempts to get catalina to turn on ssl using the jboss

mbean

:

EmbeddedCatalinaServiceSX

also fail if using ssl port invocation never
returns and attempts to "switch" from 8080 to 8443 generates internal 500 error.

here is the challenge: go to this site:

http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-08-2001/jw-0831-jaas_p.html

and download the "example" link resources:

http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-08-2001/jaas/jw-0831-jaas.zip

and compile and run the example.

this is where i need a solution. as described above when i try to run
this web app as:

https://localhost/jaas-example

i get the following
http error: file not found. if i try jboss security in web.xml:

<transport-guarantee>CONFIDENTIAL</transport-guarantee>

and uncomment the jboss.jcml

mbean EmbeddedCatalinaServiceSX

then as described above i get a web server internal error 500. this
is the simplest example i have found. other examples that work at port 8080:

http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-02-2002/jw-0215-ejbsecurity.html

and at:

http://www.jboss.org/doco_files/

(the documentation-example.zip or jaas-howto.zip).

this is the environment: linux rh7.2, Apache/1.3.20 (Unix) (Red-Hat/Linux),
jboss-2.4.4_tomcat-4.0.1, LoadModule jk_module modules/mod_jk-3.3-ap13-eapi.so,
AddModule mod_jk.c
