Yes, I'm leaning towards using 'Tomcat-only' for idp operation mainly for this purpose - handling TLS client authentication which is our principal MFA method. I could use Jetty but am not comfortable/experienced with using it for client auth handling. I also tried httpd/mod_ssl over HTTPS (instead of AJP) to Jetty - had trouble with that.
