Symfony2 behind ELB is redirecting to http instead of https

Question

Issue:

• User logs in with https://example.com/login
• Authentication is approved
• As configured in security.yml Symfony2 redirects u

Answer 1

I have solved this kind of issue in my .htaccess, it has the downside that it always redirects to https also not behind a S2 firewall, which is ok in my case since I only have the login form publicly available and I want the credentials to be sent via https

 RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https
 RewriteRule (.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [redirect=permanent,last]
