http to https redirection

[neutrino]

Hello,

I'm currently trying to redirect the url http://mail.server.com to https://mail.server.com

I've tried all the options in ISPCONFIG (no flag, R, L, RL) and none off them actually work, Firefox / IE / Opera, there is no browser that accepts the rewrite rule.

The code produced by ispconfig is the next one :

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mail.server.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ https://mail.server.com/$1 [R,L]


What I want to do, is to replace the ISPconfig code with something that works like :

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
RewriteRule ^.*$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R]


Problem is, each time I'll perform a change on the site, my code will be erased by the standard ispconfig code.

How can I change this ? I suppose I have to change some master code of ISPconfig, but I don't really like that idea, because it always causes trouble when updating to a new version.

Can a fix be expected in a future version of ISPconfig maybe ?

Just add the lines:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
RewriteRule ^.*$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R]

in the apache directives field of the website settings and click on save.

That works perfectly well, I forgot that option !

Thanks a lot till

Does this work for all or must I chance something in those lines?
I want to use https://webmail.mydomain.com all the time somebody uses web-mail.

Yes that works, and also:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}

Witch one is the preferred way to do it?

Is there any chance that the option to make a whole site SSL only can be added to ISPConfig 3 in a future release?

Having this written into the vhost file is not only the "proper" way to do it but also would be a performance gain:

<VirtualHost *:80>
   ServerName www.example.com
   Redirect permanent / https://example.com
</VirtualHost>
