Redirect vs SSL

We want to redirect everyone coming in to www.dekkocustomers.com http://www.dekkocustomers.com to www.customers.dekko.com http://www.customers.dekko.com. This will allow us to use a generic dekko.com certificate we’ve obtained.

Our first attempt was to use a single website document redirecting to itself. This caused a panic error and bounced the server.

So we followed the instructions at: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21182094 http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21182094

This worked fine except for one little thing. The last line of this document says this: NOTE: This scenario is not supported with SSL.

Well, SSL is why we’re doing redirection in the first place so this is kind of big to us.

How do we get around that?

Hello Rob!

You need separate IP addresses for each SSL site. Please take a look at this technote:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21173919 http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21173919

SSL connection uses first match for IP address instead of match for host name entered by web browser.

I hope it helps!

Thanks. The different IP address was a big help!
