Exchange 2013 OWA Http to Https redirect not working.
hello I am having a lot of issues trying to get the https redirect working on my 2013 Cas servers both are running windows 2012 and exchange 2013 cu2
if I enter webmail.domain.com it goes to http://webmail.domain.com, if I enter https://webmail.domain.com it will redirect to https://webmail.domain.com/owa
what I want is to enter webmail.domain.com and have it redirect to https://webmail.domain.com.
what I have done so far is the following:
I have entered the redirect on the default website using the 302 page and removed the required ssl from the ssl settings. I have also verified all the following directories are set :
aspnet_client :Enable SSL,Uncheck redirect
Autodiscover Enable SSLUncheck redirect
ecp Enable SSL Uncheck redirect
EWS Enable SSL Uncheck redirect
Microsoft-Server-ActiveSyn
OAB Enable SSL Uncheck redirect
PowerShell DISABLE SSL Uncheck redirect
Rpc Enable SSL Uncheck redirect
this did not work for me, if I just enter webmail.domain.com still get 403 page on one cas server and 500 error on second
2. I went into the error pages on the default website and set the 403 error page to redirect to 302 page with the url https://webmail.domain.com/owa
this did not this did not work for me, if I just enter webmail.domain.com still get 403 page on one cas server and 500 error on second
3. I made a default.htm page and put in the inetpu\wwwroot forlder with the following.
<meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=https://webmail.domain.com/owa">
and this did not this did not work for me, if I just enter webmail.domain.com still get 403 page on one cas server and 500 error on second
any help would be great. on what to do or even how to reset it and start over.
all 3 of these are still in place.
is there a different default.htm code to use ? should I just remove it completely, or remove the redirect on the 403 page ?
I just really need it to redirect from webmail.domain.com to https://webmail.domain.com/owa. this is how it is currently working on 2007.
if I enter https://webmail.domain.com it will redirect to https://webmail.domain.com/owa on both cas servers.

should I delete the default.htm or rename it ?
and should I remove the redirect I have on the actual 403 error page ?

okay so I configured all the settings as you have listed above.
I removed the redirect on the 403 error page and removed the default.htm
now when I enter webmail.domain.com it will redirect to http://webmail.domain.com/owa
but does not add the https: so its getting there.
also when I log in I get a error page that something went wrong with the following in the url
http://webmail.company.com/owa/auth/errorfe.aspx?httpCode=500&msg=4056147497
should I enable SSl on owa directory ?

The only changes you should have needed to be make would be through IIS. I would undo anything you did by manually editing the default.htm page or anything like that.
on your redirect do you have https://webmail.domain.com/owa? you shouldn't have ssl on the owa directory.

sorry the ? was a typo
sorry, it was a question was not intended to be part of the domain link. The thing to make sure you have is the https as part of your redirect.

ill double check. one one cas server it seems to work but after login
i get the above error but if i refresh 1 or 2x it comes goes through.
on the second cas server it still just redirects to the http://url but if i put https again it will redirect and again i need to refresh a few times after log in.
ill double check the settings again.
thanks for the help so far.
