Hi Mark,

As you suggested, we created a dedicated virtual host in the | server.xml| file. However, even after adding the virtual host configuration, the issue still persists.

For example, when we access the application using:

|https://sdcoradb5.hdfc.com:8083/ORDS <https://sdcoradb5.hdfc.com:8083/ ORDS>|

and replace |sdcoradb5.hdfc.com:8083 <http://sdcoradb5.hdfc.com:8083>| with |bing.com <http://bing.com>|, the request is still being redirected instead of being rejected.

Which is it? http or https?

Could you please confirm whether our |server.xml| configuration is correct, or if there are any additional settings or configurations that need to be added to ensure only the intended host is accepted?

I could, if you had provided details of your settings. Screenshots will get rejected by the mailing list. It would be better to simply paste the contents of server.xml into a plain text email.

Mark



Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you, Anushka Sur

        Hi everyone,

        Thanks for the feedback. You are right — Tomcat 9.0.110 is very
        old, and we will treat the upgrade as the first remediation step.

        We will check the issue on a newer supported Tomcat release and
        verify whether the redirect problem is still reproducible there.
        If it is fixed by the upgrade, we will proceed with the newer
        version

        if not, as suggested by mark thomas we will create virtual host.

        Thanks for pointing this out.

        Best regards,
        Anushka Sur

            The real VAPT issue should be "holy @#$%&* your Tomcat
            version is *how*
            old?"
