How to force Symfony to generate redirect URL with https protocol instead http?

You need to explicitly configure the HTTPS protocol because by detection alone, Symfony2 will only guess HTTP as HTTP is used as transport protocol to the application.

So for the component that creates the redirect URI, you need to inject the HTTPS base URI-Scheme. One simple way to do this, is to configure the base-URI as a parameter and then within the configuration.
