I have the fillowing problem to solve for a job interview.
Install the latest version of Apache Tomcat 7 using the latest version of
Oracle Java 8. Done.
Running under a non-root account.
Done.
With the provided helloworld.war deployed under the /app web context
(https://<hostname>/app) Done.
With HTTPS enabled using a self-signed certificate that you generate
Done.
* Ensure the web application is available to the Internet for both HTTP and
HTTPS
* HTTP requests should be redirected to HTTPS automatically
I need help with the last two tasks.
Do I need two redirecting connectors?
'iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port
8080' could be the first step.
Then . . .
<Connector port="8080"
enableLookups="false"
redirectPort="443" />
<Connector port="443" protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol"
enableLookups="false"
redirectPort="8443" />
How do I tell Tomcat to use ssl on a specific port? I was able to load the site
in my browser without specifying a port which seemed like a win but I need to
see that good old self-signed cert warning in my browser before I can call it a
day.
