Ok, so the next question:

Where are the apache configs stored on IBM i? I'd like to copy the
current non-SSL one, make changes to the copy and try all this out.

I've not done it on IBM i, but Apache on other servers has redirected me to
the requested page, not just the root of the new site. One config line to
rule them all ;)

Example: http://porterfield.net/west/whois.html redirects to
http://west.porterfield.net/whois.html based on Redirect Permanent /west/
http://west.porterfield.net/

So the /west/ is matched and replaced; the rest of the URI is left and
returned.

If you wanted http://idocket.com/secure to go to https://secure.idocket.com
then you'd need another redirect entry.

Ok, so if I create a Redirect Permant / https://idocket.com

Then a user enters this as URL: http://idocket.com

They'll be redirected to: https://idocket.com

Right?


How about if they enter: http://idocket.com/subscribe

Will they be redirected to: https://idocket.com/subscribe ?

Or do I need another Redirect Permanent config line?

One way to do it is change your existing configuration to use SSL then add a
new section to listen on port 80 and put in Redirect Permanent /
https://idocket.com

I like the idea of using https for the whole site, it would make
configuration a lot easier, though there are A LOT of macro changes that
would need to be made. But it brings some questions:

- suppose someone enters http://idocket.com as the URL; how do I get that to
auto-route to https://idocket.com ?
-- would that be a change in our DNS host config setting, or a web server
config directive change?

Tom,

I ran into this a little while ago and slogged through it myself. I
ended
up posting a blog about the process that you might find helpful:

I have the following website, hosted on the System i:
[3]http://idocket.com

Clicking Register now on that homepage takes you to:
[4]https://secure.idocket.com/idocket/register.asp

As you can infer from the .asp, the https is hosted on a Windows server on
our internal network.

Management wants to move the https from the Windows server onto our System
I, and I'm all in on that. But it's been quite a long time (10 years?) and
many OS releases since I've done that. Can someone point me to a guide that
walks me thru getting that up and going?

Thanks,
TomH
