I use Apache for implementing a reverse proxy toward my Tomcat which is 
listening only on localhost for security reasons. Moreover, thanks to 
Apache, the IdP is accessible only on HTTPS and the users could be 
authenticated through X509 certificates.

I hope that details about my configuration will be useful for the 
definition of your architecture.

Bests,
