Redirect port 80 requests to 443

[John Roth <jo...@providersolutions.net>]

This seems simple, but ...

I am running Tomcat 4.0.3, standalone on w2k.  I would like all requests to
http://oursite/ to be automatically redirected to https://oursite/ but am
not finding an elegant/simple solution.  Below is a snippet from server.xml:

<Connector className="org.apache.catalina.connector.http.HttpConnector"
port="80" minProcessors="2" redirectPort="443" maxProcessors="15"
enableLookups="false" acceptCount="10"/>
<Connector className="org.apache.catalina.connector.http.HttpConnector"
port="443" minProcessors="2" maxProcessors="15" enableLookups="false"
acceptCount="10" scheme="https" secure="true">
      <Factory className="org.apache.catalina.net.SSLServerSocketFactory"
keystoreFile="***********.keystore" keystorePass="*********"
clientAuth="false" protocol="TLS"/>
      </Connector>

Any ideas/pointers?

Thanks,

Hi John,

Tomcat will do this automatically with your app but it has to know that it
is meant for the secure port only.  You tell it this by including something
like the following in your web.xml for the app.

<security-constraint>
    <web-resource-collection>
      <web-resource-name>appName</web-resource-name>
      <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
    </web-resource-collection>
    <user-data-constraint>
      <transport-guarantee>CONFIDENTIAL</transport-guarantee>
    </user-data-constraint>
 </security-constraint>

Rick
