Hi Casey,

First of all, thank you for the in depth article, and I hope you are still tracking this thread even though it is kind of old.

I followed your sugestions and all is well as log as I run it in IE. If I try it in Firefox, the URL get changed to:

"http://mySite.com/403;http:/mySite.com:80/403;http:/mySite.com:80/403;http:/mySite.com:80/403;http:/mySite.com:80/403;http:/mySite.com:80/403;http:/mySite.com:80/403;http:/mySite.com:80/403;http:/mySite.com:80/403;http:/mySite.com:80/403;http:/mySite.com:80/403;http:/mySite.com:80/403;http:/mySite.com:80/403;http:/mySite.com:80/403;http:/mySite.com:80/403;http:/mySite.com:80/403;http:/mySite.com:80/403;http:/mySite.com:80/403;http:/mySite.com:80/403;http:/mySite.com:80/403;http:/mySite.com:80/

and so the page is not displayed. Weird. I wonder if you have any advice.

Frank

 

Never mind, I figured it out... I only needed to add the 'www' to the URL

Sorry to have to ask this, but where you say

"cntlFtb.SslUrl = DotNetNuke.Common.Globals.ResolveUrl("~/myblankpage.html")"

what does the ~/myblankpage.html do? Should that be the page that does the redirecting?

Hi Casey,

I just wanted to clarify that the steps you outlined should only be followed in the rare case that a vast majority of the content on your site requires SSL encryption.  In my experience, this is rarely the case and I would advise anyone against enforcing SSL for an entire DNN implementation unless your application actually requires this level of encryption.

SSL is a resource intensive feature that will degrade the performance of your site.  If all you need to have secured are the login pages and the checkout pages of your site, I would recommend using one of the SSL modules available in the community.

Thanks,

Don

I've only skimmed over the article, but everything looked like what I needed (with a few mods)!

I know this post is old, but it was still useful and I hope someone else gets some use out of the moded code.

For our environment, I wasn't able to hard code the urls to replace so I had to manipulate them dynamically.  I just wanted to add the dang "S" after http but keep what ever else they typed.  So here it is:

 

<%
    Dim strSecureURL, srvSERVER_PORT_SECURE, srvQUERY_STRING, srvNewURL

    srvSERVER_PORT_SECURE = Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_PORT_SECURE")
    srvQUERY_STRING = Request.ServerVariables("QUERY_STRING")

    If (srvSERVER_PORT_SECURE = "0") Then
 srvNewURL = Replace(srvQUERY_STRING,"403;http://", "https://")
        srvNewURL = Replace(srvNewURL,":80", ":443")
 strSecureURL = srvNewURL
     Response.Redirect(strSecureURL)
    End If
%>
