How do I force clients to connect via HTTPS?

Background

You are using a load balancer (or front-end) ServerTemplate from the MultiCloud Marketplace and would like to redirect client HTTP requests to use HTTPS, to ensure that client requests and server responses are secure.

NOTE: Your mileage may vary depending on the ServerTemplate being used.

Answer

1. Create a new RightScript, "WEB Apache force https," with the contents of this file.

2. Make sure you are using an editable ServerTemplate. If you are using a ServerTemplate that you imported/subscribed to from the MultiCloud Marketplace, you will first need to clone it.  
3. Under your ServerTemplate's Scripts tab, add the new RightScript as a boot script. This must run prior to the "WEB Apache (re)start" script and after "WEB apache FrontEnd https vhost," "WEB apache FrontEnd http vhost," and "WEB apache http-only vhost" (if present). The ServerTemplate is now ready for use with your load-balancer servers.
