Modifying web.xml to enable HTTPS

To enable HTTPS, you must modify the web.xml file. Add a security-constraint section to the $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/moab/WEB-INF/web.xml file.

To modify the web.xml file to enable HTTPS

Open the web.xml file usually located in the $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/moab/WEB-INF/ directory.
Add a <security-constraint> section to cause all pages to be hosted with HTTPS.

<web-app>
  ...
    <security-constraint>
      <web-resource-collection>
        <web-resource-name>Viewpoint Secure URLs</web-resource-name>
        <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
      </web-resource-collection>
      <user-data-constraint>
        <transport-guarantee>CONFIDENTIAL</transport-guarantee>
      </user-data-constraint>
    </security-constraint>
</web-app>

Modify the <url-pattern> text to specify which pages you want protected and which you do not.
