HTTP Status 403 – Forbidden - The server understood the request but refuses to authorize it

I am trying to use Apache as proxy server to send request to Lucee-tomcat but I am getting the error

HTTP Status 403 – Forbidden - The server understood the request but refuses to authorize it.
I have proxy server configured and when I make http request it works perfectly

ProxyPass / http://localhost:8888/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8888/

but as soon as I change the request to be ajp it does not work and gives me 403 error.

Tomcat server.xml file

<Connector protocol=“AJP/1.3”

    port="8009"
    secret="mySecret"
    secretRequired="true"
           redirectPort="8443" />

httpd.conf file in Apache

< VirtualHost *:80>

ServerName localhost
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPreserveHost On
<Proxy *>
 Require all granted
</Proxy>

ProxyPass / ajp://localhost:8009/
ProxyPassReverse / ajp://localhost:8009/

access.log of Apache
“GET / HTTP/1.1” 403 618
