I could not get any redirects to work on my qmail server:
So I forced ssl, by that I mean I modified the http.conf to listen on 80, and 
443
Made a defailt index.html for http, saying " nothing here: you must go to 
https://servername.com/webmail
Then sent a server wide email to the fact.
I will be later forcing pop3s and imapds, but need baby stems for the users

As there is only One admin ( me ) I always go to 
https://servername.com/qcontrol , just force of habit.
For those that rememeber some of my previous emails, I created a new VM Image 
unsing Centos 5.4 ISO, I made it ( Hopefully ) ultra secure.

Link to it from Jake`s site ,http://iso.qmailtoaster.com/

or if the link is still down, download direct from my server
http://techyguru.com

If there is a working solution to get the correct redirect working, I will add 
it to the VM Image and re-upload.

Thanks All

  CJ,


  Yes, those two directives are doing what I need them to do. Thanks!

    Scott,

    It sounds like you handle multiple domains, but only in a mail environment. 
 In my case I have used the QMTISO as a base to my webservers.  It has been an 
excellent base.  

    You can put those in the httpd.conf file or as Eric suggested in a .conf 
file in your conf.d folder.  

    Also, I can still get to the webmail by using the standard 
'www.SERVERNAME.net/webmail'.  In this case, it does go to the SSL page via the 
SSLREQUIRESSL and the 403 https://mail.SERVERNAME.net/   directives.

    My personal preference would be to remove these aliases once you get the 
https sorted.   Is it doing what you want (expect) now?

    @Eric.  I'll check out that link and see if it applies to my situation.

      CJ,

      I don't use virtual hosts on this server.  While this QMT server does 
handle several domains, I have everyone pointed to the main domain name to 
access their mail (webmail and mail clients).  In addition to keeping all the 
settings the same, I can get away with only needing one SSL certificate instead 
of one for each domain.

      Where in httpd.conf would be the best place to put these directives with 
the setup I have?

        When you include SSLRequireSSL and it's not an SSL connection it will

          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,

            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.

SquirrelMail using SSL?  I'm looking but I'm not finding it.

Thanks,

      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.
