They want to have DNS-based load balancing of the central services, taking into account the monitoring information.

The process consists in 2 major steps:

		<description><![CDATA[Here is a short step-by-step for enabling ssl in tomcat + enforcing user certificates from CERN.
First you have to create a host certificate. See https://ca.cern.ch/ca/HostCertificates/ManageHostCertificates.aspx for this.
Download the Base64 files. You should now have: privkey.pem (your private key) and newcert.cer (CERN signed).

Download the CERN CA files and convert them to PEM format:

But what if your users don&#8217;t respect all the rules for a standard tomcat authentication?
