Using https with specific application in tomcat

[yash wardhan]

Hi,

I am trying to use https first time. I had gone through some tutorials, but can't find how to do following scenario.

I have few applications in my webapps folder of tomcat, out of which I want to use https for one application(say TestSSL) and other applications should use normal http.
I tried it and it's working, but at the same time the application(TsetSSL) is working with http also which I don't want. Is there a way to configure it somewhere that which application should which protocol, if not can anyone tell which is the best way to do this.


Thanks

You can require HTTPS to be used for specific web apps; that's set up in that web app's web.xml file. Search the servlet specification for "transport-guarantee".

Alternatively, you can check whether a request was made using HTTPS (using HttpServletRequest.isSecure), and if it was not, perform a client-side redirect to the HTTPS address.
