Force HTTPS by creating a redirect from HTTP to HTTPS

[Trainocate]

Hi Elton,

Good Day!! We have deployed the OpenEdx Ficus version successfully and the site is up in running, but we are not able to redirect http to https, where we been doing the configurations in the file lms which falls under following path /edx/app/nginx/sites-available. "server { listen 80; return 301 https://$host$request_uri; }" We are still not able to redirect all the http traffic to the https , Could you please help us resolve this issue or suggest something for us to sort out this.

If you've followed our deployment guide, you'd need to do nothing extra. This is automatically taken care of.

Hi Elton,

Hi Trainocate

As I know that the default value for https(ssl) is true with below option.

(in bvt.sh file)

NGINX_ENABLE_SSL=True NGINX_SSL_CERTIFICATE="/oxa/oxa-tools-config/env/${ENVIRONMENT}/cert.crt" NGINX_SSL_KEY="/oxa/oxa-tools-config/env/${ENVIRONMENT}/cert.key"

So, If you would deploy a site with oxa-tools and ssl certificate, the site will be accessed by https.

Anyway, I hope that below link may help you.

Hi Trainocate

You can check /edx/app/nginx/sites-available/lms for this functionality.

Hi,

Thanks for response, we have already tried the link which you have mentioned above, we have configured these below lines in the lms file which you have asked to update. "server { listen 80; return 301 https://$host$request_uri; }"

But when we load our site with http it is not redirecting to https. Please let us know what could be the issue.
