I resolved my issue. I followed the instructions on this page: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21221253

 

 

Navigate to Servers --> Application Servers --> AppName01 --> Web Container --> Custom Properties.

 

-- Click "New". For the Name field, enter "httpsIndicatorHeader". The value field should be the name of the customer HTTP header variable inserted by the SSL accelerator/proxy/load balancer. WebSphere Application Server does not look at the actual value of the header variable.

 

-- Save the changes and restart the server.

 

 

In addition to the new custom property I also had to add a virtual host for :433

 

 

I'm not sure if the field name for the custom property is case sensitive, but IBM mixes case frequently in their documentation. The lowercase 'H' works for me.
