it was reasonably simple. although because I have several domains all on one IP it was a bit of a faff, but for a domain on its own IP it was very easy.

So, if you've already got a domain SSL and the domain is hosted on a dedicated server, how do you force the forum to use the https prefix?

I'm using url rewrite rules in the web.config to force the redirect

Hello Huw,

Just looking at your notes on your site to turn on https on our snitz site, when I got the following when going to https://reddick.asuscomm.com/the-joys-of-letsencrypt-on-windows/

SEC_ERROR_EXPIRED_CERTIFICATE

Just to give you the heads up,


Pierre
