SSL Redirect

cbtshare · 12-30-2010, 06:52 AM

I have http running fine and ssl enabled for managers , the script detects by login credentials,and it works fine.

My problem is I want when a manger turns on ssl(the URL is now https://site.com), they get redirected to https://www1.site.com.

How can I do this please, in .htaccess ?

Thank you

well this has nothing at all to do with SSL, so just look at standard htaccess usage: http://www.tamingthebeast.net/articl...1-redirect.htm there's plenty of info there about www prefixes there for example.

I know I have this but it doesnt work

#RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
#RewriteRule ^(/secure/.*) https://www1.site.com$1 [L,R=301]

I searched google extensively, before coming here, and cant find a solution.I dont want it to redirect http: to http://www1. just if ssl is enabled.

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

But it doesnt work.

you mean it doesn't work when it's commented out with the # at the start?? And why would it work anyway? It is referencing a uri that you've not mentioned at all...

lol I know its commented out lol...Its not like that in the .htaccess.

If I do it manually it works, so dont know what you are saying by "uri" maybe you mean mean URL...anyway if I go https://www1.site.com it works perfectly, but I need it to be automatic.

You can use:

Code:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}   !^www1.site1.com [NC]
RewriteRule (.*)         https://www1.site1.com/$1 [L,R]

OK thank you , but doesnt it need to check if SSL is actually on y this line?

RewriteRule ^(/secure/.*) https://www1.site.com$1 [L,R=301]

Tried it it does not work, as suspected it makes the entire site https even for non-managers

This is what the rewrite does.
If you want something else, please clarify

why does SSL matter here? Whilst you might want to insist on SSL only redirecting when SSL is in use to an address that a non-SSL connection can presumably reach anyway is nonsense.

Where in any of my posts you see non-SSL??Where in any of my explanations do you gather I want to redirect SSL to non-SSL.I maybe using using htaccess code that signifies that but that is not what I want, thus my request for assistance.

Anyways, When accessing https, it shows in the browser https://site.com , I want the browser to be changed to https://www1.site.com.How do I do that?

no, that's not what I said. I said that it seems irrelevant if you're using SSL or not with regards to a redirection. You seem to be complicating things by associating stuff that doesn't relate. You might not want non-ssl connections to the site, and that's fine, but tha'ts not affecting a redirect.

I still dont understand what you are saying, but you may be correct I might be complicating the issue.I have a UCC ssl certificate,it has my domain name on it along with www1 and www2 .The cert is installed and everything is running ok, except for the issue of when ssl is on,the blue bar up top in my browser doesn't appear and stay.It only appears and stay when I do www1.domain.com or www2.domain.com .thus my trouble when the site is in normal ssl mode I want it to show up like https://www1.domain.com instead of https://domain.com

P.S the blue bar doesnt show when I type the site any other way, e.g https://www.domain.com ,https://domain.com
