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:

The instructions within this article are in reference to the following message at the bottom of Wildfly's welcome screen:

To disable it, remove the "welcome-content" handler for location / in the undertow subsystem.

In addition, some external security compliance may require this informational screen to be hidden. 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. Users will still be able to login. Access to the admin console remains restricted via the Wildfly username and password specified in your Infogix application's appserver.properties config file.

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.
