RE: redirect port 80 to 443 in IIS

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Hi Brad,

Thanks for your post.

SBS 2003 has ISAPI filters(SBSFLT.DLL) that runs in IIS to redirect port 80 to 443 (ie. http:// to https://). Only thing sbsflt.dll does is redirect HTTP to HTTPS when the "Require
SSL" is checked on the site or virtual directories.

SBS 2008 will not automatically redirect HTTP requests to HTTPs like SBS 2003. In SBS 2008 no redirection occurs and IE returns error page HTTP 403 Forbidden , Access
Denied.

How to redirect an HTTP connection to HTTPS for Outlook Web Access clients and how to redirect the Default Web Site to point to the Exchange virtual directory

Hope this helps. Also, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to let me know.
