Hi John,
Thank you for the reply. I also found one more way to do it ...
Added the following directive in httpd.conf
<Location /private>
RewriteEngine On
ReWriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule .* https://%{HTTP_HOST}:443%{REQUEST_URI} [QSA,R=permanent,L]
</Location>
However, now the problem is, I also needed the users to authenticate by
htaccess file. But keeping .htaccess file in /var/www/html/private is not
working. I mean in that case, first the system asks password in an unsecured
mechanism and then only https redirection is working. I wanted just the
reverse...first establish secure connection and then only ask the user for
password...
Any clue on it ??
Then you will probably have to create 2 VirtualHost, and place your
authentication in the HTTPS host.
Listen *:80
Listen *:443
...
<VirtualHost *:80>
your HTTP host config
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:443>
your HTTPS host config
<Location />
AuthType Basic
AuthName private
...
</Location>
</VirtualHost>
