Issue/Introduction

Block access to HTTP on port 80 (Windows) or port 8080 (Linux) in Spectrum OneClick

Having enabled SSL in Spectrum OneClick, access to the non-secure http:// webpage needs to be blocked in order to maximize security of the server and client connections.

Environment

Any Spectrum version

Resolution

1. Make a backup of the $SPECROOT/tomcat/conf/server.xml file

2. Edit the $SPECROOT/tomcat/conf/server.xml file

3. Find the sections that defines HTTP on port 80/8080 and comment them out using HTML comment tags <!-- ... -->

For example:

<!-- Define a non-SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 80 -->
  <Connector port="80" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75" 
  enableLookups="true" redirectPort="443"  acceptCount="100" connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true">
 

Comment the 80/8080 Connector:

    <!--
    
    <Connector port="8080" URIEncoding="UTF-8" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" enableLookups="true" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100" connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true" tcpNoDelay="true"></Connector>
      
      --> 

4. Recycle tomcat on the OneClick system
