Changing Sharepoint sties from http:// to https://
I have a site that is public facing that I have been asked to make available only through https:// -- I have read a lot of stuff, including posts on this site, but still am missing some pieces I think. I read some things that say if you touch IIS at all that you're doing it wrong, while some give explicit instructions to use IIS.
What I have done so far is bound the site to 443 SSL in IIS. Now if you try and access the site using https:// it is possible, but the links break within the sites if you try and access files.
Would appreciate some assistance to work through this process. :)
Thanks!

If you don't care that the site is available over http, then nothing would need to be done as far as redirection with option 2.
If you go with option one, and you don't want sites available over http, you'll need to create your own redirection. The best way for IIS 7 is using the URL rewrite add in for IIS. This add-in would basically put an "s" in all requests.

This means in Central Admin, you select your web app, click the down arrow on the Delete button in the ribbon, and choose Remove SharePoint from IIS site. Do NOT delete the database or the IIS site itself, just choose to remove SharePoint from the site.
I performed this action and it looks like something was messed up - how do I add it back?

Are there any considerations that need to be given regarding redirects? If someone has bookmarked a location on the site would it automatically redirect or would something explicitly be needed to make that happen?
