I need to redirect the http or https base url to a https stattics url like this :

Redirect http:/ /xxx.domaine.tld TO https:/ /xxx.domaine.tld/JOrgInet/JORGServlet?FNAME=jorgentry.htt&P=LOCATION~FRA;DHTML~1;APPLI~ORGCHART;

You can use mod_rewrite to do what you want. In your SSL VirtuaLHost configuration, try something like this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}/JOrgInet/JORGServlet?FNAME=jorgentry.htt&P=LOCATION~FRA;DHTML~1;APPLI~ORGCHART; [R]

This matches requests for / only, and redirects them as requested via a client redirect.

For more information, take a look at the Apache URL rewriting guide.
