SSO Log in Page
We would like to redirect users who attempt to navigate to the base URL of our instance directly to the Web SSO URL so that they are signed in or prompted to sign in on the SSO login page. Is this possible? Our goal would be to distribute the base URL to end users rather than the URL with \websso appended. Please let me know if you need any clarification as to what we are asking here.

It seems like you want to configure reverse proxy, if so please refer to PDN articles below
https://pdn.pega.com/how-configure-reverse-proxy-server
Why give users the base url and not the actual URL? Seems counter intuitive to me unless the users are aware of the base url and will tend to log in using that instead. In that case the redirect should only be used if the user accidently chooses to use the base url.
There are a few ways to do it.
1. Redirect rules (e.g. rewrite_mod in appache http) on the web server
2. Redirect configuration of the application server if there is no web server (e.g for Jboss http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20042452/jboss-as-7-1-server-level-redirect_
3. Modify the Pega web.xml to redirect to the appropriate URL.
Try number 3 above as a last resort as future upgrades or redeployments will overwrite the configuration.
