Java WS Client HTTPS transport via remote IIS server

I've searched around so apologies if this is a repeat question:
A web service provider I work with has migrated to the cloud, requiring TLS connections.
My customer's (The web service consumer) java environment is setup with Tomcat acting as the container, connected via AJP to an IIS (v6) web server. The IIS server is where the Security is handled.
[Tomcat srv running WS Client] --AJP Connector--> [IIS server w/ SSL] ---> [Secure Web Service]
I'm trying to understand how to invoke the HTTPS connection from my app. From what I understand, the IIS server will create the HTTPS connection, but I don't have access to that certificate/keystore on the tomcat server (at least that's my understanding). Is there a way in java to invoke an HTTPS connection remotely so the IIS server can use it's certificate?
Any help would be appreciated!

WebSphere Liberty Profile AdminClient coonection

For monitoring WebSphere application server via Perf Mbean
I have choose the either RMI or SOAP connector port to get connection from Adminclient. As following code describes,
Properties localProperties = new Properties();
localProperties.put("type", "RMI");// RMI or SOAP
localProperties.put("host", localhost);
localProperties.put("port", 2809);// connector port
AdminClient client = AdminClientFactory.createAdminClient(props);
So I need same for WebSphere Liberty profile 8.5. There is no detailed about admin console i cannot find the connector port details RMI or SOAP. How to configure or choose connector port and connect to adminclient as above code. what i do in server.xml to enable the RMI or SOAP port.

Liberty doesn't have an admin client like you're using with traditional WAS. You can use JMX to connect to and manage Liberty as explained in the IBM KnowledgeCenter topic. The list of available mbeans for Liberty can be found here.

Apache httpd ssl reverse proxy

I have the following scenario:
Web application (currently running in Eclipse)
Apache httpd proxy
5 backend servers (tomcat) all listening on HTTPS
I have valid certificates for all backend servers and also have the cert chain imported in the keystore. Can anyone explain to me or give me a sample config for the proxy? I am getting different errors when trying to establish trust between the proxy and backend servers like (downstream server wanted client certificate but none are configured).

JavaScript and Java WebSocket SSL Connection Error

I am writing a browser plugin for a webpage which runs over HTTPS. My backend is in Java, so creating a websocket between javascript and java. But the websocket is giving following error.
WebSocket connection to 'wss://127.0.0.1:8080/' failed: Error in connection establishment: net::ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR
Can someone tell how to remove this error?

In order to use SSL in development machine create auto-signed SSL key a certificate for '127.0.0.1' and put a web server locally with HTTPS support, like Nginx, in front of your Java app, or if you are using a Java based web server look for HTTPS configuration (and WebSockets support as well). This way you'll be able to tests secure transport.

Client Web Service call over SSL using Apache Axis

I'm using Apache Axis 1.5.1 to code a web service client connecting to a service over SSL. My application is running in Tomcat with SSL configuration setup in JKS. However, when I connect to the server, the connection is failing because the cert from our client is not being sent to the server. Is this something that has to be set in the client through code? Also note that the server does not need any user name or password authentication. With SSL turned off, everything works fine.
Thanks,

Two common approaches here:
http://ws.apache.org/xmlrpc/ssl.html
WebLogic has its own stuff:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12840_01/wls/docs103/security/SSL_client.html#wp1029670

As long as you have the certificates configured correctly in your trust store accessible to Tomcat, there are no changes to Apache Axis HTTP code.
