Comparing mod_proxy and mod_jk

Comparing mod_proxy and mod_jk

Introduction

Apache 2.2 ships with advanced mod_proxy set of modules that have some of the mod_jk capabilities namely AJP protocol and integrated load balancer. 
AJP (Apache Jserv Protocol) with it's current version 1.3 is constant binary protocol. Constant means that the connection between web server and application server is presumed to stay open once established for the system lifetime. 
This in essence makes web server and application server a single system from the users point of view.

Jackrabbit Configuration for Document Library in Liferay Clustering environment

Jackrabbit Configuration for Document Library in Liferay Clustering environment

·         Jackrabbit is the standards-based (JSR-170) content repository that ships with Liferay.
·         By default, Liferay is configured to store files on the local file system.
·         This will not work in a clustered environment, because all the nodes need to be able to access the repository.
·         For this reason, we will configure jackrabbit on both nodes to store documents in the Liferay database, and then we will enable its cluster configuration.
·         Liferay ships with the database and cluster configuration available, but commented out, so all we will need to do is comment out the default configuration and uncomment the database / cluster configuration.

SSL Implementation in Liferay 6.1 clustered environment

SSL Implementation in Liferay 6.1 clustered environment

SSL makes use of what is known as asymmetric cryptography, commonly referred to as public key cryptography (PKI). With public key cryptography, two keys are created, one public, one private. Anything encrypted with either key can only be decrypted with its corresponding key. Thus if a message or data stream were encrypted with the server's private key, it can be decrypted only using its corresponding public key, ensuring that the data only could have come from the server

Pre-requisite:
       ·         Install Apache 2.2 or latest stable version from here.
       ·         Download Liferay 6.1 CE version from here.
       ·         Install OpenSSL from here.
