Hi,
RA> I'm trying to clear one last hurdle on this whole SSL thing. How
RA> exactly do I force a certain page to require https protocol? The How-To
RA> on SSL (which I have just about memorized at this point) states...
RA> "Any pages which absolutely require a secure connection should check the
RA> protocol type associated with the page request and take the appropriate
RA> action of https is not specified."
RA> Can this be done in the web.xml file or is this done within each JSP or
RA> Servlet? Is it possible to seamlessly redirect a user who requests a
RA> page through http to be switched to https without altering the source
RA> code of each page? I've scanned every e-mail on SSL on this list since
RA> November and I've seen many similar requests, but nobody has ever
RA> answered it. Weird. If somebody could point me in the right direction
RA> I would be very grateful. Regards! Aaron
Yes, put the following into the web-xml security-constraint part and
tomcat redirects automaticly to ssl if the resource was requested.
<user-data-constraint>
<transport-guarantee>
CONFIDENTIAL
</transport-guarantee>
</user-data-constraint>
it is necessary that ssl is correctly set up in server.xml. Have a
look at the HOW-To on the tomcat homepage
so long
