Our admittedly not very good way around this (and hopefully someone will
show a much nicer way after I post this) is:
We add the following Rewrite rules to a .htaccess file ...
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^/var/htdocs/(.*) https://www.deakin.edu.au/$1
However.. when this is combined with authentication we run up against the
problem of people having to authenticate twice.. once in clear text and then
once in encrypted form... which is just not good enough for our requirements.
I know we can get around this using mod_perl but that is not acceptable for
our situation unfortunately where people who add .htaccess files do not have
access to editing the server's configuration.
Can you do something like.. #ifdef SSL to make the Auth sections of your
.htaccess only apply when the secure server reads the file?
ie..
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^/var/htdocs/(.*) https://www.deakin.edu.au/$1
#ifdef SSL
AuthType Basic
AuthName "ITS ONLY"
AuthDBMUserFile /var/htinfo/auth_dbm/All_Users.db
AuthDBMGroupFile /var/htinfo/auth_dbm/Staff_Groups.db
require group IT
require valid-user
#endif
Thoughts?
If this functionality is not available perhaps it should be considered for
implementation?
Thanks for reading,
Travis.
