[HAP] Auto redirect to HTTPS

[timbo343]

I'm trying to get our HAP install to auto redirect to HTTPS so when a user types in our web address they dont have to put https://.

 

I've seen that i can edit the web.config and add the following:

 

 

I've placed this in under the section which is near to the bottom of the web.config. I can get to the root of the web server but i cannot get to HAP as our HAP install is located at http://HTTPS://URL/HAP. When i browse to /HAP i get an error 500 page.

 

If i take out the above code, it it works without any problems.

 

Can someone tell me what im doing wrong and how to auto redirect to HTTPS.

Hi timbo343,

I have had many issues with this until I went for the easy route of using URL Rewrite (https://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/url-rewrite)

 

Set the following settings:

Match URL:

Requested URL: Matches the Pattern

Using: Regular Expressions

Pattern: (.*)

Ignore Case: Tick

 

 

Conditions

Local Grouping: Match All

ADD...

Condition Input: {HTTPS}

Check if input string: Matched the Pattern

Pattern: ^OFF$

Ignore Case: Tick

OK

 

Action

Action type: Redirect

Redirect URL: https://{HTTP_HOST}/{R:1}Append Query String: Tick

Redirect Type: See Other (303)

 

 

APPLY

 

Hope this help,

Thank you

Many thanks for this. I was going to look at URL Rewrite but never got round to it. You've saved me a heap of time. Many many thanks!
