URL https redirect
We have a new website that we need to do a redirect if someone puts in the URL with http: instead of https: ....
for example - site is:
https://somepage.company.com (this works fine)
Would like for a user to be able to put this in and have it work:
http://somepage.company.com (redirect to https:)
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

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!

use the url rewrite handler

you can also redirect mydomain.xxx to mydomain.xxx\mysite
When I would get the certificate I'd use domain.com for the subject name rather than domain.com\mysite
