I just checked in a third (but commented) Tomcat <Connector>. It can be uncommented
by users if they need this capability.
The comments in server.xml tell you when you would might want to do this:
<!-- Provides a secure but un-authenticated https connector for browsers to use.
Uncomment this connector if all of the following are true:
1) the server-to-agent communications is secured via the sslservlet transport
2) the server-to-agent communications always require agents to authenticate
themselves with certificates
3) you want to allow users' browsers to access the GUI via the https:
protocol
4) you do not want to force users' browsers to authenticate themselves with
certificates
-->
Just to be clear, by default, this connector doesn't exist and its port isn't open
- out of box this connector will be commented out. You have to explictly turn it on by
uncommenting it if you want it.
(BTW: I did test this scenario and it works - you can have two secure connectors where one
requires cert auth and the other doesn't)

I think this is a use-case where users are gonna want to use the
sslsocket transport so agents can talk to a separate Jboss/Remoting
port in the server that can perform SSL certificate checking but it
leaves Tomcat alone so GUI users are not burdened with needing SSL
certificate in their browsers.
Would an alternative to have 2 connectors with ssl enabled - one for
the agent and the other for the clients?
Or does tomcat have a restriction to 1 connector with ssl?
