Hi Joel

You don't do it in Koha, but you can do it in Apache.

Easiest way is to have 2 virtual hosts, one listening on whatever port, and the 
other
set up to do HTTPS

In the first one, you simply redirect to the https one

https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_alias.html#redirect

For example in your case it would be something like

<VirtualHost *:8443>
    ServerName www.example.com
    Redirect "/" "https://www.example.com/";
</VirtualHost >

<VirtualHost *:443>
    ServerName www.example.com
    # ... SSL configuration goes here
</VirtualHost >

Hope this helps

Chris
