Forcing an SSL connection using CM Server

To force processing of non-SSL requests as SSL requests, using CM Server:

  1. Add or modify the virtualhost settings in httpd.conf to include the following commands (on Windows®):
    <VirtualHost *:12080>
    ServerName yourservername
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://yourservername$1 [R]
    RewriteLogLevel 0
    RewriteLog "C:\Program Files\IBM\RationalSDLC\common\IHS\logs\rewrite.log"
    </VirtualHost>
    Note: Ensure these commands are placed appropriately in the httpd.conf file, to execute before the load of the WebSphere® Application module and before the load of the WebSphere Plug-in module.
  2. Include the ssl.conf file by adding the following command:
    # include ssl information
    Include conf/ssl.conf
  3. Edit the ssl.conf file, providing the correct SSL certificate path information.
