Hi Chris, Sorry I understood wrongly here with regards to my environment, Let me start from the beginning. I donot want to use redirect at all. I simply wanted to force apache tomcat to use both localhost and dns name of the localhost via url. I have DNS resollution as below.
server.lbg.com --> localhost nslookup server.lbg.com (localhost) Name: server.lbg.com Address: 192.168.100.20 alias: example.lbg.com We have working the below urls working: https://server.lbg.com:8443/towl https://example.lbg.com:8443/towl --> redirects to https://server.lbg.com:8443/towl --> still works --> we have SSL configured for the same but this SSL certificate doesnot have additional DNS setup. But I would need to somehow access https://example.lbg.com --> which means I would need to access via 443 here ? I tried to adding the below to server.xml as below, but that doesnot seems to work. <Connector port="80" protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol" connectionTimeout="20000" redirectPort="443" /> --> Do i need additional SSL certificate for the https://example.lbg.com to make it work ? Do i need to set up an additional web server for this like apache or nginx for redirecting requests? I look forward to your feedback.
