Glad to hear that.

I've not used authbind, but I believe you can configure things in more
than one way (i.e. /etc/authbind/byport versus /etc/authbind/byuid).
I'll bet there is an order of preference, and that
/etc/authbind/byport overrides /etc/authbind/byuid.

I think you may want to remove /etc/authbind/byport/443 altogether and
allow the /etc/authbind/byuid configuration to handle everything.

NB I would recommend, at least in production, that you limit the ports
to which Tomcat is allowed to bind to the ports you actually need, and
not 1-1023. Just In Case.
