Hello Kevin,

This is in the docs, but what you need to do except for pure SSL settings is
that you copy the default-web-site.xml file to another name and add
secure="true" to the web-site tag of the new file.

So, yes, you need to do something.

However, normally you want to present different applications and content on the
secure site and not just a copy of your normal site (entering your credit card
info should probably only be available on HTTPS for example) and then of course
you need to reference in the web-site.xml that it will serve other
web-applications.

Regards,
Karl Avedal
