Duplicate Content Issue because of root domain and index.html

[h1seo]

SEOMoz crawl diagnostics is suggesting that my root domain and the rootdomain/index.html are duplicate content. What can be done to  ensure that both are considered as a single age only?

Add this to your .htaccess file

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^./index.html?\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^(.)index.html?$ "/$1" [R=301,L]

This will redirect attempts to hit index.html back to root.
