Confluence: HTTP redirect to the HTTPS (issue with redirect)

Serj Shcherbakov

Hi Folks, 

We planning to migrate on https, so we already done these step:

• install sertificate;
• add changes into server.xml:

<Connector port="8090" connectionTimeout="20000" redirectPort="9443"
...
<Connector port="9443" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
...

• add changes into web.xml:

<filter-mapping>

<filter-name>UrlRewriteFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
<dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher>
<dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>

</filter-mapping>

• add changes into urlewrite.xml:

<rule>

<condition name="host" operator="notequal">^confluence.mydomain.com</condition>
<condition name="host" operator="notequal">^localhost</condition>
<from>^/(.*)</from>
<to type="permanent-redirect" last="true">https://confluence.mydomain.com:9443/$1</to&gt;

</rule>

When we test redirection links we found nexts:

redirect works fine: http://sitename:8090/display/AFRS/AD+15.99+reservation+before+purchasing+membership

redirect works bad (page not found, but page available by direct link with new site name with https):
http://sitename:8090/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=1540581

Please help what we missed?

Environment: confluence 6.5.2 server.
Any help much appreciated.

Hi @Serj Shcherbakov ,

Have you changed Server Base URL in "Confluence -> General Configuration" !?
