webmail https redirect

[ssgill]

Hello, trying to figure out how to serve webmail on https always. If http is typed it doesn't redirect to https. I have tried most of the suggestions in forum, setting up "ssl_redirect_host" settings
added to /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/custom/ap2/conf/extra/httpd-includes.conf

<location /*>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}
</location>

But nothing works, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Custom .htaccess would do the trick, maybe there is another way but you can check this.

Webmail | Directadmin Docs

DirectAdmin Knowledge Base

docs.directadmin.com

It links to the sub part of the docs concerning enforcing ssl for roundcube.

Hello,

Try and add

RewriteOptions  InheritBefore

to the rewrite rules.

But nothing works, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for helping out, just want to update that these 3 custom build options did worked redirecting to server host for all domains

"use_hostname_for_alias", "redirect_host" & "redirect_host_https"

But maybe this is not what i want, webmail url on domain is what i was looking for.

Will follow the link provided and see if that works.

Thanks

added to /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/custom/ap2/conf/extra/httpd-includes.conf

these files need to execute the rewrite command,

da build rewrite_confs

so...
It's should work, but you just adding in the wrong directory, if you want to testing before put in the customize mechanism, you must insert into "/etc/httpd/" directory.

Normally when a domain has ssl it works automatically with the browser.
You could probably use the force_ssl=1 parameter in directadmin.conf but keep in mind this would automatically force all domains to ssl. In some cases that might not be requirable.
