Tomcat 8.5.51 - Issues with secretRequired="false"

Tomcat 9.0.34 has that secretReqiured set to true by default now to address CVS issue.

Adding the address attribute and specifying the loopback address is what worked for me on Tomcat 8.5.54.

<Connector port="8009" protocol="AJP/1.3" redirectPort="8443" address="0.0.0.0" secretRequired="false" />
