You are absolutely correct. Currently if I try to navigate to http://myserver.mydomain.com/ the page times out. This is because tomcat is not listening on port 80. When I navigate to https://myserver.mydomain.com/ the Zimbra login is displayed as you would expect.

What I would like to have happen is when a request is made for port 80 to respond with an html redirect to https://myserver.mydomain.com. This way I am only accepting https connections for access to Zimbra, but the user doesn't have to remember to type https.

I have a similar situation that I have handled in apache with simple html code to redirect the request.

Here is the code:
Code:
<html>
<head>
 <title>Redirect Page</title>

 <meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="0;
 URL=https://myserver.mydomain.com/index.php">
 </head>
<BODY/>
</HTML>
So basically what I am asking is how to do this with Zimbra? I assumed that I would have to tell tomcat to listen to port 80 and redirect the request, but I suppose I could install apache and have it do the redirect.

Thanks for your help,
