In DotnetNuke I made a website secure(https), and now it gives a 302 response code first, and then redirects to https

Running a DNN website. Made the entire website https instead of http. Now the first response code it gives me is 302. I need it to be 301 for the SEO purposes.
Do I do it in code? or in IIS? Cannot figure it out.
PLease tell me step-by-step how to implement that.
