i use 6.2, i try to add ssl, follow the steps with
https://liferay.dev/blogs/-/blogs/ssl-configuration-in-liferay-https-
it works.
but when try access it, the first time in welcom page, it does not redirect to https, only after i do somthing.
my question are:
1. how can i access https directly,
2. in this artical, i have to add code in web.xml, but i found many web.xml in many folder, should i just modify <liferay6.2>/tomcat-7.0.62/conf/web.xml? or web.xml from my ext project?
for now, i add javascript
if(window.location.protocol!='https:'){window.location.replace("https://my liferay6.2/"); }
in my welcome page.

General advice: Could you add a reverse proxy? Believe me, things like redirects and certificates are far easier to manage on a reverse proxy like Apache or Nginx.

i find the reason i failed.
because my server be triggered by eclipse, so, it copy the web.xml from <eclipse wrokspase>/servers/<Liferay 6.2 CE(Tomcat) from local>/web.xml
