Documentation : Filter and Issues page not redirected after integrating JIRA with SSL or HTTPS

Problem Definition

After connecting JIRA to SSL or HTTP as per

• https://confluence.atlassian.com/jira/running-jira-over-ssl-or-https-124008.html

Old urls for filters and issues that are still using the HTTP protocol is not properly redirected to HTTPS.

When trying to access those HTTP or non SSL urls for the filters or issues

• User is logged out of JIRA
• Page not redirected to the new HTTPS link as it should.

Suggested Solution

Adding :

<url-pattern>/issues/*</url-pattern>

to the <web-resource-collection> on the web.xml file. This is not documented on :

• https://confluence.atlassian.com/jira/running-jira-over-ssl-or-https-124008.html

It would be great if this documentation is updated to :

<security-constraint>
  <web-resource-collection>
    <web-resource-name>all-except-attachments</web-resource-name>
    <url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
    <url-pattern>*.jspa</url-pattern>
    <url-pattern>/browse/*</url-pattern>
    <url-pattern>/issues/*</url-pattern>
  </web-resource-collection>
  <user-data-constraint>
    <transport-guarantee>CONFIDENTIAL</transport-guarantee>
  </user-data-constraint>
</security-constraint>
