Any way to redirect tomcat 8080 to https?

[zanity84]

Hello,

I am in the midst of configuring Alfresco Community 4.2.a, and I've successfully installed our certificate on the server. Apache also redirects traffic to the SSL connection just fine. However, I've noticed that going to the server using tomcat's port 8080, I can get to the site in regular HTTP. I sniffed out my login information in clear text, so it is imperative to either prevent this access or direct it toward my certificate.

I've tried commenting out tomcat's port configuration in server.xml, but then I can't log into the site. Is there an easy way to do this? Thanks,

since I m waiting someone to help me, i will help you. but actually it's not alfresco related it's java related you should use google before…

for share:
go to Alfresco\tomcat\webapps\share\WEB-INF
for explorer
go to Alfresco\tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF

open web.xml

add

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

before

</web-app>‍

Okay, so it redirected just fine to 8443. However, now it doesn't let me log into Alfresco.  I'm sure it's an easy fix, but I'm not sure where to go about it. Thanks,

Okay, so prior to making this post, I was able to redirect regular http traffic to my ssl certificate. For example, http://server.alf.com would be redirected to https://server.alf.com. However, going to server.alf.com:8080/share would still go to http and I could see the username and password. With your first post, this was mitigated by directing server.alf.com:8080/share to server.alf.com:8443/share, which brought on the self-signed certificate. That is exactly what I want to have happen. However, when starting the server, I can't log into Alfresco.  It gives me the "Server is unavailable…" error, and this occurs whether I access through Apache or Tomcat.
