Web Site to HTTPS

[IfThenElse]

Hello,


Is there a set up in IIS 6.0 on W2K3 that can automatically switch my users
from http to https.

I know there are scripts that can be added to do that.

But is there a universal setup in IIS to do so. if not will a future IIS
provide that func.

Thank you,

Not sure this is possible, these are two different sites. Why would you need
that? The typical approach is to redirect or transfer to the *other site
based on some condition (like checking out)

Can I do the Redirect via a setup in IIS GUI, without writing any redirect
scripts?

Not sure what you're actually asking for, but it sounds like this will do
the trick:
http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/WebPageSecurity_v2.asp?select=1095511&df=100&forumid=53615&exp=0

I never use anything else for sites which are part-HTTP and part-HTTPS - it
really is a "set it and forget it" solution...

You don't understand. I am switching my site to https. I don't have http
part and an https part.
I want any users that type http://www.mydomain.com to be redirected to
https://www.mydomain.com
My question is can this redirection be done in IIS GUI management console.

Sounds like a job for URL rewriting.

Juan,

What do you mean, can you give more detailed info?

Thanks

So reference WebPageSecurity.dll and set the entire set to HTTPS

Using URLrewrite ( look that up at MSDN ) is one way of solving the problem.

You can also solve it with this code :

If Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_PORT")=80 Then
Dim strSecureURL
strSecureURL = "https://"
strSecureURL = strSecureURL & Request.Url.Host
strSecureURL = strSecureURL & Request.RawUrl.ToString
Response.Redirect(strSecureURL)
End If

Mark,

Interesting, what do you mean by "set the entire set to HTTPS"??

Thank you,

Download the utility, read the instructions, and set the entire site to
HTTPS - it's in web.config...

Mark,

Okay did not know you are referring to the link you gave me.
I thought it is part of the framework.

for what I need I will use a script for know.

Never got a straight answer about the IIS GUI.

Thanks again,
