You don't have any TLS connectors configured so the HSTS filter isn't going to do anything.

Given you access the server via port 443 but Tomcat is only listening on port 8080 you must have a reverse proxy configured somewhere that is likely terminating the TLS.

You need to configure HSTS wherever the TLS is being terminated.

As an aside, you need to be *very* careful proxying secure traffic to an HTTP connector on Tomcat. I trust that you have the appropriate configuration in place (typically the RemoteIpValve) to ensure that Tomcat can correctly identify which traffic has been received via a secure channel and which via an insecure channel.

We are using TOMCAT 9.0.40 on linux, and are trying setup 
Strict-Transport-Security per requirement from our security team.

We followed this note:

TO4K-UbrvgSvSAepZe_e-U8$

Changed $CATALINA_HOME/conf/web.xml

With:

     <filter>

          <filter-name>httpHeaderSecurity</filter-name>

<filter-class>org.apache.catalina.filters.HttpHeaderSecurityFilter</fi
lter-class>

          <async-supported>true</async-supported>

<init-param>

<param-name>hstsEnabled</param-name>

<param-value>true</param-value>

</init-param>

<init-param>

<param-name>hstsMaxAgeSeconds</param-name>

<param-value>31556927</param-value>

</init-param>

      </filter>

And uncommented:
      <filter-mapping>
          <filter-name>httpHeaderSecurity</filter-name>
          <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
          <dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher>
      </filter-mapping>

After we restarted TOMCAT APACHE, we still couldn't see 
Strict-Transport-Security using following curl cmd:

curl -i -s
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://finerp-apps-dev02.test.advanceauto
.cloud/ords/apex_ext/r/advance-supplier-portal/home__;!!Ec1O5iy8QcVh!G
A40DCbCXd3AheMXejlVBzoCrxjPpYuD5q1tH5L4QY01vfZAZ-F5iLprImL0Qe5hTO4K-Ub
rvgSvSAepLuScW-A$  | grep -i Strict-Transport-Security

I am reaching out to see if there is any additional steps need to be done for 
setting up this security flag.

Please provide the Connector element(s) (with sensitive data like passwords 
masked) from your $CATALINA_BASE/conf/server.xml file.
