Steps to create a new URL Rewrite Rule<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n - Use the following steps exactly to create the redirection properly for your website:<\/li>
- Match URL Setting:\n
- Name your rule (i.e. ‘http to https’)<\/li>\n
- Requested URL: ‘Matches the Pattern’<\/li>\n
- Using: ‘Wildcards’<\/li>
- Pattern: ‘*’<\/li>\n
- Ignore Case: ‘Checked’<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/itblog.ldlnet.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-3.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n- Conditions Setting:
- Click Add<\/li>
- Condition Input: ‘{HTTPS}’<\/li>
- Check if input string: ‘Matches the pattern’<\/li>
- Pattern: ‘off’<\/li>
- Ignore Case: ‘Checked’<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/itblog.ldlnet.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-4.png\")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n- Server Variables Setting:
- No Settings Changed or Added<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/itblog.ldlnet.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-5.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n- Action Setting:
- Action Type: ‘Redirect’<\/li>
- Action Properties
- Redirect URL: ‘https:\/\/{HTTP_HOST}{REQUEST_URI}’<\/li>
- Append Query String: ‘Checked’<\/li>
- Redirect Type: Found (302)<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/itblog.ldlnet.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-6.png\")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nNote: In this example {HTTPS}, {HTTP_HOST}, and {REQUEST_URI} are all URL parts that can be accessed using the URL Rewrite module. More information on URL parts can be found here<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Apply the rule so that it is saved to IIS<\/li>
- Perform an IISRESET from an Administrative PowerShell Session or Command Prompt to Enable all the settings properly<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Changes Made<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
The URL rewrite rules get written to the web.config file for the site you are working in. For example, the above configuration should result in this addition to the web.config file:<\/p>\n\n\n
\n
\n\t \n\t\t \n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t \n\t\t\t<\/conditions>\n\t\t\t \n\t\t<\/rule>\n\t<\/rules>\n<\/rewrite>\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n That should take of it all for you and now when users connect to your website via http, they will be automatically redirected to https SSL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
HAPPY CONFIGURING!
