IIS 7 URL Rewrite for HTTPS

Question

I want to redirect https://example.com to https://www.example.com . I have the following rule for redirecting non www http traffic to https://www . . .

<rule name="WWW Redirect1" stopProcessing="true">
    <match url="(.*)" />
    <conditions>
        <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^example\.com$" />
    </conditions>
    <action type="Redirect" url="https://www.example.com/{R:1}" />
</rule>

This will not handle redirecting from https://example.com to https://www.examlple . Right now I currently get the SSL cert error, is it even possible to avoid this?

Answer 1

If you are getting an SSL certificate error, it likely means that either

1. Your web server is not serving up an SSL certificate for https://www.example.com or;

2. Your SSL certificate is for example.com not www.example.com . In which case, you'll likely need to address that with your SSL certificate provider.

Not sure that it is an issue with code or config....
