How to set health check servlet on
Resolution
All flags set in the URL are acted upon. However, you will not get a verbose response unless you unlock the servlet in the web.xml configuration with a parameter of secure = false. However, this parameter is *not* put in place because we do not want customers to turn it on and then forget.

The parameter to be set is as follows:

<servlet>

<servlet-name>HealthCheck</servlet-name>

<servlet-class> com.passmarksecurity.servlet.HealthCheckServlet </servlet-class>

<load-on-startup>2</load-on-startup>

<init-param>

<param-name>secure</param-name>

<param-value>false</param-value>

</init-param>

</servlet>
