Question

When I do a http get on my websphere liberty profile v8.5.5 (let\'s assume http://my.domain.com) I\'m presented with a nice page that says amongs other things \"Welcome to the W

Answer 1

You can turn that page off by adding the following to your server.xml file:

edit:

I should clarify, the other answer is also correct. If you install an application with "/" as the context root, it will be used instead of the main page.

If you add something like the following to that application's web.xml:

    Some constraint
    
        All
        All URLs
        /*
    
    
        All users
        User
    
    
        CONFIDENTIAL
    

You will get the https redirect that you're asking for.

Additional edit (per comment), the following is a more complete example of how to set up the redirect: How to make "HTTPS redirect" work on WebSphere Application Server Liberty Profile?
