I have configured SSL with following changes for Jboss-5.0.1 GA

%JBOSS_HOME%\server\default\deploy\jbossweb.sar\server.xml

<Connector protocol="HTTP/1.1"

         port="80" address="${jboss.bind.address}"

               maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"

               enableLookups="false" acceptCount="100"

               connectionTimeout="20000" redirectPort="443"

               URIEncoding="UTF-8" useBodyEncodingForURI="true"

               disableUploadTimeout="true" />

<!-- SSL/TLS Connector configuration using the admin devl guide keystore

      -->

      <Connector protocol="HTTP/1.1" SSLEnabled="true"

           port="443" address="${jboss.bind.address}"

           scheme="https" secure="true" clientAuth="false"

           keystoreFile="C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.6.0_12/bin/demo.keystore"

           keystorePass="pankaj" sslProtocol = "TLS" 

           URIEncoding="UTF-8" useBodyEncodingForURI="true" />

%JBOSS_HOME%\bin\run.bat

set JAVA_OPTS= %JAVA_OPTS% -Duser.timezone=GMT -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore="C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_12\bin\demo.keystore"

When I configured http on 80 port and https 443, my web application can be accessed with https://myhost/myWebApp. but when I access my web app with http://myhost/myWebApp it is not accessible.

But When I configured http on 80 port and https 8443, my web application can be accessed with https://myhost/myWebApp. as well as http://myhost/myWebApp. All http (unsecured) requests are redirected to https 8443 port.

Can you please tell why redirection from 80 to 8443 works and 80 to 443 doesnt work???

Thanks
