Ok , I thank you guys for being so helpful. I would never expect that. Basically I am have tomcat running on port 8443 as user tomcat. I am trying to find ways to redirect them to 443 WITHOUT using iptables or the firewall or the load balancer. I have no control over any of those tools and I cannot use a reverse proxy wither because I do not have control of apache.
I think that leaves me basically with authbind or set cap , locally. However, I cannot get either to work. Set cap seemed easiest. You start the tomcat server and then I ran this setcap cap_net_bind_service=+ep /opt/jdk1.8.0_161/jre/bin/java So now what? How does it know to bind java process to 443? $netstat -an says 443 is not open and it does not work using curl. That is where I am right now. =========================== Thank You; Chris Cheltenham Technology Services The School District of Philadelphia Work # 215-400-5025 Cell # 215-301-6571 -----Original Message----- From: Olaf Kock [mailto:tom...@olafkock.de] Sent: Wednesday, March 14, 2018 11:59 AM To: users@tomcat.apache.org Subject: Re: Binding a non root user to port 443 On 14.03.2018 16:02, Cheltenham, Chris wrote: > Chris, > > I am kind of lost.

It would help to know what didn't work for you and, if possible, why. It doesn't help anyone if we're giving the same answers again, not knowing any of the aspects that need to be changed, or anything about what you can't use.
