How to Access Your Site only With HTTPS?

There are two ways to make it possible to access your site only with HTTPS. Both two ways are based on URL Rewrite. Before starting this, we need to make sure a SSL certificate has already applied for your site and we can access your site with “https://”. Usually, we will do this for you and make sure it can work properly. Then let’s get a start to set it up.

First method – Coding

The first method is to add the following codes into web.config file. It’s very easy, just copy and paste.

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″?>

<configuration>

<system.webServer>

<rewrite>

<rules>

<rule name=”HTTP to HTTPS redirect” stopProcessing=”true”>

<match url=”(.*)” />

<conditions>

<add input=”{HTTPS}” pattern=”off” ignoreCase=”true” />

</conditions>

<action type=”Redirect” redirectType=”Found” url=”https://{HTTP_HOST}/{R:1}” />

</rule>

</rules>

</rewrite>

</system.webServer>

</configuration>
