The redirectPort defined in server.xml is being overwritten by the SBM unconditionally
From the xsl transformation redirectPort is computed as follows
–
.. ..
<xsl:variable name="portHttps" select="$port + 363"/>
.. ..
<xsl:when test="(name() = 'redirectPort')">
<xsl:attribute name="redirectPort"><xsl:value-of select="$portHttps" /></xsl:attribute>
</xsl:when>
.. ..

Use Case:
=========
If for instance a user has configured port forwarding using iptables with the following settings

1. 1. 1. 1. server.xml
            <!-- A HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8080 -->
            <Connector protocol="HTTP/1.1" port="8080" proxyPort="80" address="${jboss.bind.address}"
            connectionTimeout="20000" redirectPort="443" />

<!-- A AJP 1.3 Connector on port 8009 -->
<Connector protocol="AJP/1.3" port="8009" address="${jboss.bind.address}"
redirectPort="443" />

<Connector protocol="HTTP/1.1" SSLEnabled="true"
port="8443" proxyPort="443" address="${jboss.bind.address}"
scheme="https" secure="true" clientAuth="false"
keystoreFile="${jboss.server.home.dir}/conf/localhost.keystore"
keystorePass="changeit" sslProtocol = "TLS" />

1. 1. 1. 1. iptables
            iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d 192.168.10.4 -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination :8080
            iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d 192.168.10.4 -p tcp --dport 443 -j DNAT --to-destination :8443

1. 1. 1. 1. web.xml
            <security-constraint>
            <display-name>Secure Connection</display-name>
            <web-resource-collection>
            <web-resource-name>medicare</web-resource-name>
            <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
            </web-resource-collection>
            <user-data-constraint>
            <transport-guarantee>CONFIDENTIAL</transport-guarantee>
            </user-data-constraint>
            </security-constraint>

Requests to http://www.mydomain.com/testApp are being redirected to https://www.mydomain.com:8443/testApp instead of https://www.mydomain.com/testApp or https://www.mydomain.com:443/testApp

In order for this to get this to work, the following lines are being commented out
– <xsl:when test="(name() = 'redirectPort')">
<xsl:attribute name="redirectPort"><xsl:value-of select="$portHttps" /></xsl:attribute>
</xsl:when>
