Hi

I am using SolidCP 1.1.2 on my subdomain: subdomain.server.tld

It is a live server Windows 2012 and has the static IP address. I purchased an Essential SSL for this subdomain by following steps:

1-created CSR on my IIS server (common name: subdomain.server.tld )

2-Purchased SSL by using this CSR

I installed SSL on my IIS now it is showing on my IIS->SSL certificates

I tried to open my portal by SSL: https://subdomain.server.tld but it doest show anything!

My question is what steps I missed?! Where do I need to make it works? I need all requests on my portal redirects to https not http

I have : webmail on that (subdomain.server.tld/webmail) I want all requests on webmail also has https on webmail.

and for the last question:

Can I use this SSL for my server’s SMTP, POP connections?

Thanks,

Question is closed for new answers.

Hi,

Add this to your SolidCP Portal web.config for redirection:

You can put it just before closing the system.webserver node.

Warm regards,

Joseph

Hello,

You will need to click on your Portal website –> Bindings (on the right side), and add a https binding with the certificate you added in IIS.

Once thats done it won’t automatically re-direct to https, you should make a url rewrite rule to rewrite http to https.

You can use the same ssl for smtp / pop connections aslong as the name of the smtp / pop url is on the certificate (or a wildcard cert will do).

Marco

Do you mean binding on IIS ? My problem is : I cannot see the portal website on IIS->web sites

Where is that?!

SolidCP Portal in the IIS is named “SolidCP Portal” (it’s a normal website in iis)

Hi

I found that, but in binding when I’m trying to add new one there are more setting that I do need to choose:

1-IP address, do I need to assign it to default main IP address? (I have only 1 IP address on that server)

2-There is a port number that I should choose, its default value is 443, which port number I need to choose?

3-There is a host name, what should I enter for host name?

4-Do I need to tick on “Require Server Name Indication” checkbox?

Thanks

Hello,

1 – I would leave to all unassigned

2 – You want to keep port 443

3 – Enter the portal URL

4 – Using SNI is a good idea

I have also attached a photo. Don’t forget to select the certificate from the dropdown list.

Kind Regards,

I made that changes but still request for are goes to non secure site : http://subdomain.domainname.tld:9001 not : https://subdomain.domainname.tld

How can I redirect all request to SSL ?

Hello,

You will need to setup a redirect in IIS if you want to redirect people to the https page.

You should be able to go to the https page and it load the panel without any issues.

You can also run SolidCP installer again to update your portal URL. During configuration, make sure you specify on HTTPS URL.
