HTTP to HTTPS redirect on a CSM

[cnohrden]

I am kinda new to the CSM so please bear with.

Currently, when a client hits a vserver on the CSM using port 80, the CSM passes the traffic to a serverfarm which chooses a real server. Now, we have a new security requirement, and I need to redirect them to the same URL -or- IP address but on port 443. What is needed in the CSM configuration to tell the client browser to automatically use port 443 instead of port 80?

Thank you.

here is a link to a sample config :

This example is http to http.

To do http to https you need to add the command 'ssl https' under the redirect-vserver

ie:

serverfarm REDIRECTFARM

nat server

no nat client

redirect-vserver WWW2

webhost relocation www2.test.com 301

ssl 443

inservice

Let us know if this works.

This is exactly what was needed. I added "ssl 443" and it immediately started working. (The only functional piece that I am doing different is I am not NAT'ing the server in the serverfarm.)

Thank you very much.
