Thanks all, I ended up using the IIS URL Rewrite module to force the HTTPS URL. Works great. The only issue I ran into was on my F5 loadbalancer I needed to enable session affinity for 443.
For those of you interested here is the link of how to do this: http://www.iis-aid.com/articles/how_to_guides/redirect_http_to_https_iis_7 Jim -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Joe D'Souza Sent: Thursday, May 09, 2013 7:32 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: HTTP --> HTTPS Redirect That is exactly what I was proposing - to handle the 403 error, but by way of a javascript which does a replace of the window location from http to https. I do not recall specifics, but I believe there is a better and cleaner way to do this, but for all practical purposes, this should work.

For message type click URL and enter your https URL. There are full step by step on the microsoft support site.
