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.

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.

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?

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 On 5/28/10 6:50 PM, Maxwell Smart wrote: Add these two lines to the virtual server. SSLRequireSSL ErrorDocument 403 https://mail.servername.net 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.

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 On 5/28/10 10:49 AM, Maxwell Smart wrote: 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.

Thanks, Scott 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.
