https without specifying the port in address bar
Hello all,
I am trying to stand up a site and my company has all ports except
for 8443 blocked. Thus if someone types in www.mydomain.com they cant get to
any of my pages. SSL is a requirement for this site.
How can I set this up so that if the user types in https://www.mydomain.com
they will see my pages.
Right now they have to type in https://www.mydomain.com:8443/logon.jsp
Thanks in advance!

If the *only* port that your company's firewall is listening on is 8443,
then there's nothing you can do, as all traffic to other ports (e.g. 443 for
SSL) will be dropped. If there's some kind of proxy in between, then you
could use port forwarding, where the client request for port 443 is
translated to 8443.
The only other solution is to open up port 443 on the firewall and, if you
can only run Tomcat on 8443, then set up a firewall rule to translate 443 to
8443.
