Capture and Redirect HTTP to HTTPS with SharePoint 2007
SharePoint administrators are often asked to securely publish their sites either to the Internet, internally, or both. This is a fairly straightforward process of configuring your MOSS installation for SSL and publishing your site using any one of the numerous firewalls or proxy servers available on the market. But what happens if your users forget the site is SSL secured and enter http://your.moss.site instead of https://your.moss.site? Well, if you’ve properly secured your site and blocked HTTP traffic from the Internet, they receive the all too familiar 404 page not found error and you get a call asking why the site is down. If they are internal users and enter http://your.moss.site, they receive a 403.4 Forbidden: SSL is required… error.
