welcome.phtml: genUrl controller generates http:// but not https:// in welcome mail about ixp-manager HOT 4 CLOSED

Assuming you're using Apache:

genUrl() will determine if the current request is via HTTPS and, if so, will generate a URL with https://. If not, http:// is used. This is done by checking the $_SERVER['HTTPS'] variable.

In the various projects that use this code, we have Apache redirect any non-SSL visitors to the SSL version. This works better as it ensures SSL connections rather than hoping the programer will remember to do this on a case by case basis.

If you are not using Apache please let me know what you are using.

If you want a way to force SSL, let me know also as I can code this in.

In either of the above cases, please reopen the ticket.

Hi Barry,
checked this in detail, now. I'm using apache and have not (yet) forced IXP Manager to https.
When I created the user I was logged on with only http. I now created another user,
using IXP Manager with https, than the link in the email is correct with https.
I have to enforce https usage for the IXP Manager, on my todo list, now.
Thanks, Thorleif

@bcix : On Apache something like the following snippet should help to put the entire /ixp site under HTTPS:

<VirtualHost www.bcix.de:80>

    ...

    RewriteEngine on

    RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
    RewriteRule ^/ixp/(.*)$ https://www.bcix.de/ixp/$1 [L,R]

</VirtualHost>

 <VirtualHost www.bcix.de:443>

    ...

</VirtualHost>
