redirect url to owa - 28.May2010 12:36:41 PM

My customers can access owa at https://mail.mydomain.com/owa
I would like to setup a redirect from http://mail.mydomain.com to the https owa address.   I am using exchange 2007 in a single server environment.
When I setup a default.htm with a redirect I get the error message The page must be viewed over a secure channel.   If I turn off SSL over the root folder then I would lose SSL over the entire IIS which is not what I want.   I just want the default.htm to work with regular http and then redirect to the https site.

How do I do that?    Should be a simple question?

Try this!

Create the following file in Notepad and save it to C:\inetpub\wwwroot as SSLRedirect.htm

<html>
<head>
<title>HTML Redirection to https:</title>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh"
CONTENT="1; URL=https https://mail.mydomain.com/owa/">
</head>
<body>
This page is attempting to redirect you to <a href="https://mail.mydomain.com/owa/"> https://mail.mydomain.com/owa/</a><br>
If you are not redirected within a few seconds, please click the link above to access Outlook Web Access.
</body></html>

Open IIS Manager, and then navigate to Web Sites/Default Web Site. Right-click Default Web Site, and then click Properties.

Click the Home Directory tab, and then click the A redirection to a URL option.

In Redirect to, enter /OWA

Select The client will be sent to: A directory below the URL entered above

Click the Custom Errors tab, and then find HTTP Error 403;4 in the table. Click 403;4 to select it, and then click Edit

Click Browse to locate the file that you created (SSLRedirect.htm) at the start of this procedure

Click OK to save your changes

Open a Command Prompt window, and then type iisreset /noforce to restart IIS
