Https redirection

nubbins

In an effort to give my users every possible chance at not failing at navigating to the VPN accesses site, can anyone layout how to setup https redirection?

Ie: navigating to vpn.mydomain.com (http://vpn.mydomain.com) redirects to https://vpn.mydomain.com

I'm using the VMware Server/Player/Workstation appliance wich is Ubuntu

Thanks in advance!

I have just done this.

The method I used involved installing Apache and Webmin

1. Install Apache, use the following command via putty

apt-get install apache2

Then install webmin, see the following link for how to do this

http://www.webmin.com/deb.html

Then in webmin, goto servers->apache server->Virtual server on Port 80->Alias and redirects-> then in Permanent URL redirects put '/' (without the quotes) in the from field,and the url you wish them to goto ie https://vpn.mydomain.com

Hope that helps

Hi Nubbins

I tried your method above. Have had no luck, do you know whether it works on Access Server version: 2.0.24 or have any pointers?
