====== Redirecting to SSL-protected connection ======
===== Prerequisite  =====

In order to make sure that your website is delivered without showing a security warning please make sure to add your domain to the GWDG SSL certificate.

===== Redirection =====

The redirection can be configured by adding additional rules to the ''.htaccess''-file, which is processed by the webserver on every request. 

A working configuration is shown in this example:

<code>
# GWDG SSL REDIRECTION
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https
RewriteRule ^.*$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI}
# END GWDG SSL REDIRECTION
</code>
