Using Https protocol

[mailanusha]

Hi

I need to adopt https as preferred protocol.I have installed Apache and created a self signed certificate to enable SSL.

Is this enough to automatically take the url typed by the user (hitting my applications) starting with "Http" and convert it to "Https".

For example: if the user types "http:\\www.myA pp\test". will this url be automatically redirected to "https:\\www.myA pp\test".

If not what are the requirements for doing this.

Thanks & Regards
Anusha

Yes, you could use mod_rewrite to change URLs from http to https. Or you could configure Apache to not listen on port 80 altogether, however, that is a less friendly approach.
