It's not as simple as it looks.
I've been given the task to add a third tomcat to a server that already has two Tomcats working.
Problem is, this third Tomcat needs to be secure, and the port needs to be hidden. Since Tomcat 1 is currently using port 433 (secure) and Tomcat 2 is using port 80, my third tomcat is out of widely accepted non-showing ports.
How can I hide the port? Proxies? Virtual Hosts? I NEED it to be separated from the other two. Any suggestion is highly welcomed.
That is how the browsers work. They assume port 80 for http unless you specify a different port. If you specify different port, then the port number must be specified in the url.
One way or another you'll have to show the port number in the URL unless you can use an intermediate server such as a reverse proxy which listen to port 80 (http) or 443 (https) and forward the communication to your server at another port.
browser -> public.server.com -> private.server.com:3333
If you bind your new tomcat to a different domain name and IP, you can still use ports 80 and/or 443.
