Question : Redirect <a rel="nofollow" href="http://" target="_blank">http://</a> to <a rel="nofollow" href="Https://" target="_blank">Https://</a> for users accessing OWA

running exchange 2003sp2 on Server 2003 sp1 with IIS

My firewall only has ports 25 and 443 open.

When users type in http://mail.mydomain.com/exchange  I would like it to go to https://webmail.mydomain.com/exchange   (the webmail.mydomain.com is what my SSL certificate is setup for)

I am thinking I would need to open port 80 on my hardware firewall to allow the initial http:// traffic in, and then redirect the traffic to port 443 once it hits IIS ??

thank you

Answer : Redirect <a rel="nofollow" href="http://" target="_blank">http://</a> to <a rel="nofollow" href="Https://" target="_blank">Https://</a> for users accessing OWA

If users had their way, they would be hosting porn and gaming sites on your network, or inviting folks over to superduper lan gaming parties, etc.

This what I used for our redirects.
