Thanks for the response. Yes, the redirectPort attribute needs to match the port for the SSL Connector (in your case, 443). And it's a good thing, since IE has issues on 4.1.x when you try and use a non-default port for the SSL Connector.
So do i define the redirect attrbute in the SSL part or in the non-SSL part of the server.xml document? Please advise.
