the instructions would help only when both Apache and Tomcat are on one machine.

Indeed but if you want to manage to do with Apache and Tomcat on different servers, you have to modify the workers.properties file as following:

# BEGIN workers.properties
# Definition for Ajp13 worker
worker.list=ajp13
worker.ajp13.port=8009
worker.ajp13.host=your_tomcat_server
worker.ajp13.type=ajp13
# END workers.properties

Hi everybody!

We’re using the same configuration (one Apache as load balancer and three Tomcat linked using mod_jk on windows2k3 Srv).

We’ve started the configuration for authentication in winAD, follwing the “Configuring Kerberos manual authentication and/or SSO in distributed environments” manual found on SAP web site.
Everything is working fine execpt SSO via the load balancer.

We found, by sniffing, that we received the authentication token from the KDC but we get a “Bad gateway” error on the logon page.

We’re thinking that the problem is between the Apache and the Tomcat.
Here’re our config files:
