Possible to serve Confluence and/or Jira on HTTPS and HTTP?

[Sean Vreeland]

Is it possible to config Tomcat to serve Confluence and Jira on HTTPs and HTTP?

Thanks,

Yes, but no.

In theory, you could set up the Tomcat to serve up one system in many places.  Http and https are usually served on ports 80 and 443 and it's easy to tel Tomcat to serve the same system on both.

But, like most web-apps, the applications are only suitable to run on one url, so if you try to serve it up on two or more, all but the main one are going to fail in various ways.

You mention "Confluence and Jira", so yes, you could run one of their tomcats on http and the other tomcat on https if you wanted to though.

Thanks, Nic. I'm not seeing anything readily available, but I did find this article that describes how to "forward" all traffic from port 80.

Yes, that is all about taking the various places someone might land and pushing them over to the single place where they should be looking.
