SharePoint WSS, Multiple Sites and SSL?
We have a WSS 3.0 SharePoint farm created that has a site default site at the server's port 80 (http://servername) that is anonymous access enabled. We have an extended site on the same web application using a specific host header (http://default.hostheader.com). We then have a new site built on port 443 (as it must be SSL secured) with another different host header (https://sslsite.hostheader.com). In IIS7, SSL Settings are set to require SSL and the Bindings for the 443 SharePoint site only define the port 443 settings and the specific IP address that has been setup for this site. All requests using the HTTPS are routed to the correct site as expected. If someone forgets though to use https and instead uses http (http://sslsite.hostheader.com), the user is shown the anonymous site, even though the address never changes. Can I force a SharePoint site to always use/require https and/or redirect any http traffic to https? I thought there'd be something in IIS7 however I'm not finding it.- Thank you.
