Hi Leon,

why not use a redirect/refresh on the http site and redirect to the https site?
then the redirect is transparent to the user. For example:

header of the http - index.html page:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=https://your.site.com/";>

-s.

Hello,

I have a web-based frontend for an application that
users will be accessing.  It can use http or https.  I
would like to allow only https.  This is a more
relaxed company so it will be harder to enforce a
management policy (as in dont do this do this) so I
would like to enforce this through the use of
techonlogy.  I know i could set a router acl to permit
only https to the server but this seems kind of like a
kludge (first off it wont prevent people on the same
subnet from doing what they want).  How can I
configure IIS to only except https connections?

Thx,

Leon
