Chris,
Thanks for the response, but I think I explained myself wrong. The
http redirect to https works when I use just this entry in my web.xml
<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>securedapp</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>
<user-data-constraint>
<transport-guarantee>CONFIDENTIAL</transport-guarantee>
</user-data-constraint>
</security-constraint>
But if I want to force http to https and lock the second url pattern from a
browser accessing files in that directory, it locks down the entire site based
on the first url-patterm /* and with out the /* the http to https does not work
at the root directory of the app.
<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>securedapp</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
<url-pattern>/path to directory/*</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>
<user-data-constraint>
<transport-guarantee>CONFIDENTIAL</transport-guarantee>
</user-data-constraint>
</security-constraint>
I can’t figure out how to force http to https and lock down a directory from
being browsed.
Thanks,
Kent Cole
