SSL Rules for https://www

Hi guys,

I’ve received my ssl certificate and installed it successfully on my site. The certificate is prepared for mysite.com, not for *.mysite.com.

I wanted the site to be accessible like https://mysite.com – no www, no http (only secure connections). I’ve already added the needed rules in my web.config.

Everything is fine, but the url https://www.mysite.com does not redirect to https://mysite.com. I get the error that the certificate is for mysite.com (which I know and it was intended ).

My question is what is the appropriate rule for this url?
Do I need to make some dns changes?

Thank you in advance for your time.

 

You may want to take a look at this post on forcing SSL through your code using a rewrite rule.

 

Thank you for the post, however I believe the message with the invalid certificate happens before reaching to server rewriting rules.

Do you know if there is any specific error being raised which I can attach to with my own page which makes redirect? Or maybe some iis bindings?

 

The IIS7 rewrite in your web.config will handle this.
For example, this is the rewrite I used, which can be modified as needed:

<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Redirect to https">
<match url="(.*)" />
<conditions>
<add input="{SERVER_PORT}" pattern="443" negate="true" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="https://www.msftwise.com/{R:1}" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>

 

Those are the rules in my web.config. They work fine for every url except https://www.mysite.com

<rule name="Remove WWW prefix">
<match url="(.*)" ignoreCase="true" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^www\.mysite\.com" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="https://mysite.com/{R:1}" redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>

<rule name="Redirect to HTTPS">
<match url="(.*)" />
<conditions>
<add input="{SERVER_PORT}" pattern="443" negate="true" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="https:// mysite.com/{R:1}" />
</rule>

 

I had a similar issue as well, but I had to put it on the back burner. I hope you get it resolved. nice guess keikoraca
