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:

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