I am working with a client, we have introduced certificates for SSL, and they also want a Base URL change. (This is on Jira Server running on Windows server)
Sounds simple... but...
Current Base url is :8080 We have implemented the SSL and changed the base url to just :8443 - that worked.
I have now changed the base url to just (no port) and that is working (however I had to use 443 rather than 8443. The client does not use, and does not want to use, a reverse proxy. hence 443 rather than 8443 to get the portless url to work
The outstanding issue I have is that the redirect from :8080 to new does not work.
I have the following in the server.xml
<Connector port="8080" redirectPort="443" relaxedPathChars="[]|" relaxedQueryChars="[]|{}^\`"<>"
maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" connectionTimeout="20000" enableLookups="false"
maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" protocol="HTTP/1.1" useBodyEncodingForURI="true"
acceptCount="100" disableUploadTimeout="true" bindOnInit="false"/>
<Connector port="443" protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol"
maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" SSLEnabled="true" relaxedPathChars="[]|" relaxedQueryChars="[]|{}^\`"<>"
maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25"
enableLookups="false" disableUploadTimeout="true"
acceptCount="100" scheme="https" secure="true"
sslEnabledProtocols="TLSv1,TLSv1.1,TLSv1.2,TLSv1.3"
clientAuth="false" useBodyEncodingForURI="true"
keyAlias="lse-jira-uat.numiscorp.com" keystoreFile="C:\\Program Files\\Atlassian\\Application Data\\JIRA\\lse-jira-uat.jks" keystorePass="REMOVED" keystoreType="JKS"/>
I also have atlassians recommended settings in the web.xml.
so if I am on the server and go to localhost:8080 the redirect to the new URL works.
However if I use :8080 from anywhere else the redirect fails and I get a deadlink rather than a redirect.
Am I missing a setting anywhere to get the redirect to work?
As a side note, I have done the same on Confluence and the redirect works. So not sure why Jira does not.
Any help appreciated.
