Re: SSL "Redirect" question

ah... I assumed too much there.

Art,

To allow a redirect, you need two ports. Each port can only either
understand unencrypted http (http://) or TLS-enhanced HTTP (https://).
You cannot do both on a single port.

That means that whomever is connecting to your port 82 without TLS can't
be redirected, because the server can't communicate without TLS.

You need one port that's unencrypted and does nothing but redirect to
another port running TLS.

(TLS is replacement for what was formerly SSL if you didn't know.)

Brad: When I activate virtual host nothing works. I have a subdomain.

Do I

need the SSL stuff? Here is what I have:

<VirtualHost *:82>
SSLEngine On
SSLAppName QIBM_HTTP_SERVER_DC4PGMLIB
SSLProtocolDisable SSLv3
Redirect permanent / https://me.myserver.com/
</VirtualHost>

Here's how I do it for my website in Apache:

<VirtualHost ip_address:80>
ServerName bvstools.com
ServerAlias bvstools.com
ServerAlias www.bvstools.com
Redirect permanent / https://www.bvstools.com/
</VirtualHost>

We want to enable SSL on an internal web site we've been using forever.

I'm

able to install a godaddy cert and apply it to the QHTTPSVR instance. I
tested SSL and it worked fine.

When I went to HTTP://ourserver.com:82 I get an application error. Is
there
a configuration setting in the configuration file so that it will

redirect

automatically to https or accept HTTP traffic as well? SSL was turned

on

for 82, not a new port.

Thanks
