Topic: Is there a setting or module for always use SSL protocol?

[JorgeCarousel]

Hi guys,

I have been dealing with websites built on Apache htpd on Windows and Linux and every time we want to make httpd to use https we have to do it in .htaccess with rewrite module, but is there a way to just enable ssl so it always uses it without having to use the rewrite module?

I'm asking because we are using web apps from third parties and they come with their own .htaccess and when it's time to update we have to modify the new .htaccess to have the redirection to https and this is just annoying.

Thank you.

This is not a Enable/Disable setting, but at least it doesn't involve editing the .htaccess file

I found that adding this line to the vhosts configuration file does it:

For vhost secure.example.com add this line to its vhost configuration:

Redirect permanent / https://secure.example.com/

I hope this helps somebody else.

Hi,

I prefer to put the following three lines in the VirtualHost definition because there is no need to know what the ServerName is.
