Our issue is exactly what the person stated above. We have a Big IP device routing traffic behind the scenes over port 80. We will work on a rule to use for https / 443 traffic to that particular setup and will talk out how to arrange it so we can have all portals / child portals / new host headers setup correctly to use that https. As we come up with the solution I will post here.

There are other COTS products that have this same issue and you resolve them the same exact way.

So here is what we had to do and it works!

  1. setup the DNN install on a top level domain, meaning https://mydnn.companyname.com/
  2. have the internal IP router route all traffic coming in as https / 443 traffic and do not just send port 80 for internal traffic
  3. have a self signing certificate for the server to use so the https:// traffic is not stopped in the middle

This is due to the URL Rewriter that DNN employs. It rewrites the URLs coming in from the h all the way to the .aspx and if internal it is reading traffic coming in as http://mydnn.companyname.com/ or http://www.companyname.com/dnninstall from the device to the server, it will build the URL as such.

The reason we made it a top level name is because of how our Big IP device works and the other rules we have on traffic. The easist thing to do is to have a top level https://mydnn.companyname.com/ and then all portals are child portals on that. Everything will be routed https:// no matter what.

Hi,
Although it is old thread but it is still happening .. I dont know if my case is same as yours , but my host web server recognize the secure connection and it use different port like 9668, but i was having same redirect loop
it ended up with me to change the OnBeginRequest Function in UrlRewriteModule.vb the HttpModules.dll
i stopped the last redirect option which says "it is using host portal's firs alias " (last attempt to redirect)
may be it same case with someone else
good luck
Mosta
