Apache HTTPS to HTTPS Redirection

Question

We have a client server hosting our web application using Apache 2.2 & Tomcat 6 in RHEL. I have setup apache re-write rule for http to https redirection and it works fine. We have two DNS names that are used to access the same application. Test1.com and Test2.com. I want all the users trying to access http:// test1.com or https:// test1.com to https:// test2.com. As mentioned, http:// test1.com to https:// test2.com redirection is working fine. I am not able to implement https://test1.com to https://test2.com.

I have tried Virtual Hosts, ServerAlias, NameVirtualHost, but nothing works. Any suggestions if we can handles this via re-write would help. Any other pointers that might lead to the resolution of this issue will be appreciated.

Thanks

Answer 1

Try the following:

 RewriteEngine On 

 RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} test1.com$
 RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://test2.com$1 [L,NC,R=301]

If you have a <VirualHost> for both :80 and :443, this redirect should go in both configurations.

Answer 2

I solved this issue with redirect, but I had to setup virtual host for https redirect with all necessary ssl settings.

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName test1.com
    Redirect "/" "https://test2.com/"
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:443>
    ServerName test1.com
    Redirect "/" "https://test2.com/"
    SSLEngine on
    # SSLProxyEngine On
    SSLCertificateFile /path/site.crt
    SSLCertificateKeyFile /path/site.key
    SSLCertificateChainFile /path/DigiCertCA.crt
    SSLProtocol ALL -SSLv2 -SSLv3
    SSLHonorCipherOrder on
    SSLCipherSuite EECDH+AESGCM:EDH+AESGCM:AES256+EECDH:AES256+EDH
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:443>
    ServerName test2.com
    ...
    SSLEngine on
    # SSLProxyEngine On
    SSLCertificateFile /path/site.crt
    SSLCertificateKeyFile /path/site.key
    SSLCertificateChainFile /path/DigiCertCA.crt
    SSLProtocol ALL -SSLv2 -SSLv3
    SSLHonorCipherOrder on
    SSLCipherSuite EECDH+AESGCM:EDH+AESGCM:AES256+EECDH:AES256+EDH
</VirtualHost>
