redirect http to https through httpd.conf

Question

Need to change http to https.

http://myServerName/itf/sheldon/imex/ajax/share_details/v1/CH0012221716/issuer/contact.json **Should change to**          


        

Answer 1

I found the solution: To change particular or any http call to https call, put the code in

VirtualHost :80
   ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/error_log
   CustomLog logs/access.log common
   LogLevel info
   RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}$1 [R=301,L]
   RewriteEngine On

Answer 2

Set up your virtual host file / httpd.conf to have lines

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName enter.yoursite.com
  Redirect / https://enter.yoursite.com/
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:443>
  ServerName enter.yoursite.com
  ServerAdmin some@email.com
  Insert EVERYTHING else in here (rewrite rules, log file stuff, etc)
</VirtualHost>

This will force the website to always redirect to HTTPS and then load all the configurations you want under HTTPS.
