http to https redirect for Login page

Question

I want to redirect the users of my application to HTTPS protocol when they visit Login page. The URL is of kind:

http://localhost/default/Login

I have written below Rewrite rule in my apache conf file ( Please note that I want to do it from conf file only and not from .htaccess)

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^/Login$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

This redirect is not working and I am not able to find out the reason. Have also tried printing rewrite logs , but not able to debug from that as well.

Please let me know what am i doing wrong.

Answer 1

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} Login [NC]
RewriteRule $ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R]

This rule solved my problem. Found out that ^ was for start of URL.

Answer 2

Try adding the code below to your httpd.conf file.

Redirect permanent / https://localhost/default/Login
