If you want to make your web server visible on the default ports (http: 80, https: 443) on Linux, we recommend using a reverse proxy. In this configuration, the reverse proxy runs as root, which allows it to use privileged ports (up to 1000), and forwards requests to the web server which runs as a non-privileged user (normally 'tomcat'), on non-privileged ports (above 1000). |

Do not run Tomcat as root on Linux as this constitutes a security risk. |
Reverse Proxy
We recommend using a reverse proxy to terminate the HTTPS session and to forward web requests using HTTP to the Tomcat server. This solution requires that the proxy and tomcat servers run on a private network (or on the same server), and that the tomcat server is not directly accessible by normal users.
...
To configure IIS as a reverse proxy on Windows, see here.
Tomcat
It is also possible to configure HTTPS directly in tomcat.
