Tomcat ssl port not redirected automatically

Question

1. i enabled both non-ssl(8440) connector and ssl(8445) connector in server.xml, when ever i started the server it redirects me to " http://localhost:8445/ " but i given this port in ssl connector.

2. When i am trying to access http://localhost:8440 , it allows me to enter application ( it must redirect to the ssl port as i given redirect port)

3. every thing working fine , if i removed non-ssl connector.

tomcat version : tomcat 5.0.28 -thanks in advance

Please always read the documentation that help you to learn. You can check it HERE .

Go to your $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/server.xml and change redirect port:

<Connector port="8080"
  enableLookups="false"
  redirectPort="8440" />

<Connector port="8440" protocol="HTTP/
  enableLookups="false"
  redirectPort="8445" />

Cheers!!
