DNN redirect to https

The fastest way is to set the site to "Force SSL" in DNN.

I have noticed that the behavior is better when using a tool like UrlMaster from IFinity.com.au.


Set up a redirect page and point 403.4 errors there. The redirect page will be the only url that doesn't enforce SSL.

1. Create a redirect page

You can use pretty much any available web technology here.

Examples:

  • client-side html/js (requires javascript)
  • Classic ASP

In ASP.NET, the redirect.aspx can be written in a similar way to which it is done in Classic ASP:

<%@ Page Language="C#" %>

<!DOCTYPE html>

<script runat="server">
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) 
    {   
        if (!Request.IsSecureConnection)
        {
            string query = Request.ServerVariables["QUERY_STRING"];
            query = query.Replace("http:", "https:");
            query = query.Replace("403;", "");
            query = query.Replace(":80", "");
            Response.Redirect(query);
        }
    }
</script> 

<html>
<head runat="server">
    <title></title>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
        Redirecting...
    </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

2. Check that SSL is not enforced on the redirect page

Edit redirect.aspx propertis in IIS Manager

3. Point 403.4 errors to the redirect page url
