[closed] Configuring URL Redirection in RTC 3.0 with WAS
Is it possible to set up a URL redirect in RTC 3.0 using WAS such that a request to a URL like
http://myserver.ibm.com
will be redirected to
https://myserver.ibm.com:9443/ccm/web.
In the default setup, if I change the WAS "WC_defaulthost" to port 80, http://myserver.ibm.com/ccm/web should automatically redirect to https://myserver.ibm.com:9443/ccm/web, correct?
Now, is there a way to simplify the first URL so that instead of using http://myserver.ibm.com/ccm/web, I can just have http://myserver.ibm.com redirect to https://myserver.ibm.com:9443/ccm/web?

It doesn't have to be IHS; WAS can use IIS as it's front end. Can't
fully answer the "why" but by definition "Websphere Application Server"
is an *app* server and
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wasinfo/v7r0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.websphere.base.doc/info/aes/ae/twsv_plugin.html
has all the details on how to setup a HTTP server to front WAS.

Do we have documentation for both approaches? I need to know exactly
how to set up IHS if that is the recommendation, and I need to know
how to configure WAS if that is the best way.
Why use IHS -- what are the advantages? It seems in simple cases it
would be easier to just configure WAS.
Yes, it is possible to set up a URL redirect in Rational Team Concert using WebSphere Application Server..
Got to Applications > Application Types > WebSphere enterprise applications Locate and click on the RTC application ccm_war.ear
In the application detail page, click on Session management.
Under the Enable cookies section, enable the Cookie path option and set it to /ccm/web.
Then Save and Restart
the result should be something like that
http://myserver.ibm.com/ccm/web should be automatically redirected to https://myserver.ibm.com:9443/ccm/web.
and the URL from http://myserver.ibm.com directly to https://myserver.ibm.com:9443/ccm/web
