Redirect HTTP to HTTPS
|
|
|
| Hi,
I'm having a lot of trouble redirecting my site... I've looked at other
discussion forum topics, but nothing is working for me. I don't think I
fully understand what to do, and I am looking for somebody to explain it in
simple terms. I have my site set up as HTTPS using SSL. The site can be
accessed by typing in https://........
I want to be able to type in http://....... and have it automatically
redirected to the https site. Is there an easy way to do this in IIS 6? I
just want the main page index.htm to be redirected, not any other pages in
the virtual directory. Those can all be accessed from the main page.
Thanks in advance,
Nora

| Hi,
Also, when I type in http://......... I get HTTP Error 403.3 - Forbidden:
Write access is denied, rather than the normal error that people say they are
getting, which says they just need to add an s at the end of http
thanks again,
nora

| Hello Nora,
I don't believe clients should see 403.3 (Write access Forbidden) due to
SSL. If they are seeing it, its because of a different reason. Check these
out:
http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...kb;en-us;248072
When you require SSL on the site, users will be able to use only https to
get to the site. If they use http in the url, they will get Http 403.4
error in the browser. You can customize the http 403.4 (SSL required page)
so that instead of telling clients that they need to use https instead of
http, it redirects them to the https link. Here are some articles that talk
about this and other possible solutions.

non OWA sites as well)

Hope this helps!
