Liberty v8.5.0.1 introduced a new feature of a welcome page which is displayed on a context root of "/" if not overridden by an application. The page clearly highlights that the server is a Liberty profile server and there is no property to disable this.

Problem conclusion
After installing the interim fix for this APAR, users should set <httpOptions removeServerHeader="true"/> in the httpEndpoint element within the server.xml. Specifying this removeServerHeader="true" property will both disable the welcome page, and remove the server implementaion from HTTP headers. The official APAR fix included in the fix pack will split this functionality into two distinct properties. The <httpOptions removeServerHeader="true"/> sub-element of the httpEndpoint element will be used solely for removing the server implementation from the HTTP header. To remove the default welcome page and have the Liberty profile HTTP 404 response page returned, users will need to set enableWelcomePage="false" on the httpDispatcher element in the server.xml. Therefore, to achieve the exact behavior as in the interim fix, users need to set both properties. The WebSphere Application Server Liberty profile error code has also been removed from the default Liberty profile HTTP 404 response page. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in the fix pack following 8.5.0.2.
