SSL offloading - Backend Server problem.

[eoin]

I am configuring SSL offloading for the first time. After configuring my css 11503 to do the offloading I discoverd I can still access the secure web page through a normal HTTP request from the public internet. (as apposed to HTTPS). What is the best and esasiest way to stop this from happening.

The solution is to use a redirect from HTTP to HTTPS

You can let the server do the redirect or configure the CSS with a redirect service.

Thanks for the help. This has helped to solve my problem. By using a content rule to capture specific content with a particular file extension I can use the redirect service to redirect it to the correct URL...Changing the HTTP:// to HTTPS://
