The current release is 6.0.29.  Time to think about an upgrade.

You've left the default apps installed.

I don't know what you mean by the last part of that statement.

You can either rename the idm.war (or directory 'idm') to ROOT.war (or
'ROOT') and make it the default application, operating on:

 https://idm.my.org/

or, you can add a new ROOT application which contains a JSP or
index.html which performs a simple redirect.

The former is easier.
