Websites not redirecting to HTTPS

Hi,

The solution to your question is as follows:

1. Create http://webmail.domain.com as a new server (a virtual server)
2. Make sure is serves over port 80 only
3. Make sure it does not use the SSL cert
4. Create https://webmail.domain.com as a new server
5. Make sure is serves over port 443 only
6. Make sure it uses the SSL cert.
7. Go back to the http://webmail.domain.com, create a alias
8. Type: Redirect Match
9. Pattern: ^/(?!/)(.*)
10. Path: https://webmail.domain.com

What this does is redirect any traffic from http://webmail.domain.com to https://webmail.domain.com

For more info please google for "apache redirect"

That may be, but since this is 'standard apache stuff' it will resolve your issue.

If you want you can file a feature request at www.apple.com/feedback/server.

I am not sure about Lion but the redirection did not work automatically in Snow Leopard. So like I did in Snow Leopard I create two website:

1. https://example.com, select SSL certificate, port 443 (it change automatically if you select certificate first)

2. http://example.com, no certificate, port 80 and add redirection: For "When users visit:" choose "This website" and for "Redirect them to:" coose "example.com (SSL)"

furgere > thanks! this works 🙂
