Build Forge HTML Redirect

Thanks Josh for responding, but what I need to know is the fully qualified pathname to the BF Tomcat file that needs to be updated with the redirect?

When one of my customers logs into my BFMC, the use this URL:

https://auscbforge.tivlab.raleigh.ibm.com/

which defaults to port 443, but immediately changes to port 8443.

I am looking for the exact path from BF_HOME, which in my case is /opt/buildforge/server/tomcat. Looking under that directory I see:

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Sep 20  2016 bin/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Sep 20  2016 lib/
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4.0K Sep 20  2016 conf/
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4.0K Sep 20  2016 work/
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4.0K Sep 24  2016 webapps/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Jul 24 11:45 temp/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root  32K Aug  7 00:32 logs/

Hello Randy,

Generally, it is not recommended to have the Build Forge login page to be directly bookmarked.
The Build Forge site address (http://MyBFServer/fullcontrol) should be bookmarked so that users will be redirected according to the Build Forge config.

The redirection mechanism is controlled under Build Forge config file (buildforge.conf).

The web server(Apache) will take the redirection from the main buildforge.conf file ($BF_HOME/buildforge.conf) services_url entry.
While the services layer (Tomcat/WAS) will take it from the buildforge.conf file buried under the WAR files.

The way Apache is configured (httpd.conf) by default under Build Forge, it should be looking for either an index.html or index.php file.
Where Build Forge supplies an index.php file to start the user's connection ($BF_HOME/webroot/public/index.php).
You should be able to generate an index.html file with the HTML meta tag or update the index.php to redirect the user's to the new site.

The php file would simply need a "header" function to redirect the user.

Thanks Josh, just what I needed.
