Tomcat – Virtualhost Apache and Tomcat

apache-2.2mod-jktomcatvirtualhost

I have Tomcat and Apache web server. by MOD_JK I configure Apache to send request for http://127.0.0.1/cas to Tomcat.
http://127.0.0.1/cas works correctly and Tomcat response to it.
now I want this https://127.0.0.1/cas to work, (SSL).

I search it and found that I need Virtualhost on Apache that send requests to Tomcat, my question is how can I create a SSL Virtualhost?
and should I remove all configuration that I create before this for http://127.0.0.1/cas?

One vhost entry will reference :80 and the other :443

So for example (stripped down version) This assumes you never want to login with non-ssl.. So redirect to ssl

NameVirtualHost *:80
NameVirtualHost *:443

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName login.domain.com
    Redirect / https://login.domain.com/

</VirtualHost>


<VirtualHost *:443>
    ServerName login.domain.com

    SSLEngine on
    SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/conf/login.domain.com.crt
    SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/httpd/conf/login.domain.com.key
    SSLCipherSuite ALL:-ADH:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:-LOW:-SSLv2:-EXP

    ProxyPass / http://1.2.3.4:8080/cas
    ProxyPassReverse / http://1.2.3.4:8080/cas

</VirtualHost>

That also assumes tomcat has the ip of 1.2.3.4 and running on port 8080
