One other thing is that the ssl cert is for this page: https://sompage.company.com
A user can also put in https:/company.com and it gets them to the page but the cert is incorrect. I think a wildcard? cert should have been installed? Can someone describe how that should work?
Oh, this is on IIS 8 on a Server 2012 R2 machine.
Thanks
When I would get the certificate I'd use domain.com for the subject name rather than domain.com\mysite
David Johnson, CD
for a subdomain you need a separate or a wildcard certificate

I am able to get the redirect (from http: to https:) to work on our internal network but its not working outside? Is this a DNS issue? Firewall issue possibly?
I set up a forward lookup zone on our internal DNS servers to point to the internal IP address of our webserver. So when I go to http://somepage.company.com it redirects to https://somepage.company.com correctly. But when I get outside our network, its not working.
Thank you for your assistance!

Bit more info - I have a Sonic Firewall NSA 4500. It does not appear that is letting http: traffic through to my web server, where I think I could then redirect to the https: website. So I either need to allow this http: traffic, or do the redirect at the sonicwall.
