Removing PORT from URL.

[illuminati]

New poster and user. Forgive the the question, but I've been assigned the task of securing our site.

I've put in the following xml tags in our web.xml file:

<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>Security page
</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/StuffWeWantSecure/*</url-pattern>
<http-method>GET</http-method>
<http-method>POST</http-method>
</web-resource-collection>
<user-data-constraint>
<transport-guarantee>CONFIDENTIAL</transport-guarantee>
</user-data-constraint>
</security-constraint>

This all works great except for one problem...
When I'm redirected to the SSL port the port number "8443" (which is correct) is being included in the url and my jboss server is returning a 404.

Does anybody know how to remove the port number from the URL? I want the request to be https://www.mydomain.com/StuffWeWantSecure/SomePage.html
instead of
https://www.mydomain.com:8443/StuffWeWantSecure/SomePage.html.

If anybody knows how, your help will be so greatly appreciated, believe me.

Good Day,

Browsers will show the port if it is not the default 80 for HTTP and 443 HTTPS

I have the same problem, I want to hide the port 8443 from de URL.

It's possible to hide the port installing Apache? or is there another solution with JBoss?


Thanks
