Disabling Wildfly's welcome screen

Wildfly contains a welcome screen that is accessible by removing the context root of the Infogix application, such as:

http://<infogix-server>:8080/

A sample of this screen is below:

Occasionally, external security compliance requires this informational screen to be hidden. This article covers how to disable the Wildfly welcome screen. Running a deploy will not revert this change.

NOTE: This does not block access to the Wildfly admin console, which runs out of port 9990, 10090, 10190 or 10290. Access to the admin console remains restricted via the Wildfly username and password specified in your appserver.properties.

1. Navigate to the following directory within your Infogix server:
   

   <install-dir>/wildfly/<jvm-name>/configuration

   <jvm-name> refers to the JVM/config name chosen during installation. This is commonly IA, II, IV, ER or default.
   
2. Edit the standalone-full-ha.xml file
   
3. Remove the following line within the undertow subsystem. Commenting out this line will not work:
   

   <location name="/" handler="welcome-content"/>

4. Restart Wildfly
   
5. If you have multiple JVMs, then these steps will need to be repeated for each JVM directory.
