I like that, Scott. Just keep in mind, you're talking about 2 separate things. The default page is one thing, and http->https redirection is another. I suppose redirection could be used for the default page, that would be unconventional, and more complicated than need be.

CJ,

I'm not getting any 403 errors. Would this still apply? I'm just looking to make it so that when one of my users goes to "mail.SERVERNAME.net' they get the SSL pages.

Thanks,

Scott

There is a way to do a simple redirect, but I haven't played with it and can't seem to get it to work as desired. I am told it has to do with timeout. You set the META to timeout and redirect to the SSL site. It can be seamless too. I know the above works and I am sure there is not much to be gained using the latter configuration.

CJ / Eric,

How does one set up a redirect so that people automatically go to the secure area? My SSL setup is working, but only if I go directly there (https://mail.SERVERNAME.net). If I just do 'mail.SERVERNAME.net, it goes to the non-secure page.

My setup is as follows:

I have a symlink in my /var/www/html directory called 'webmail' (the symlink points to the Squirrelmail directory). In my http.conf file, in the document_root section, I have it setup to go to /var/www/html/webmail.

I do this so that my users can type in mail.SERVERNAME.net and get to webmail.

Is there a more proper way to do this and still give them the ease of access?

Thanks,

Scott

I have set up the Rewrite as suggested, but it does not redirect from
http to https is only says forbidden.   I can create a 403 redirect, but
would rather set it up as a simple redirect.  How is this done?

While this will work for one domain or if the user knows that the master
domain is the one he is receiving the certificate for.  Has anyone set
it up either using ssl or gnutls to have each virtual domain using it's
on certificate?  I use the QMT ISO as a webserver and would like to be
able to offer certs for individual clients thus being able to correctly
authenticate either their https://www.myserver.com or
https://mail.myserver.com correctly.

http://wiki.qmailtoaster.com/index.php/Certificate briefly mentions
that you can use the cert for apache. That page could really use some
rework.

Note, the mod-ssl package must be installed for apache.

Once you have a certificate installed for apache, the
squirrelmail.conf file can be modified to look like this:
<IfModule mod_alias.c>
Alias /webmail /usr/share/squirrelmail
</IfModule>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
RewriteRule ^(.*/webmail.*)$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}$1 [L,R]
<Directory /usr/share/squirrelmail>
   Options None
   Order allow,deny
   allow from all
   SSLRequireSSL
</Directory>

I see you've started a SM page on the wiki. Great.
Thanks for your work on this.
