I hate to drudge this issue up again, but say you do the above:
<VirtualHost 192.168.0.1:80>
RedirectMatch permanent .* https://newsitename$1
</VirtualHost>
but your index page requires a login (via any of the auth modules, say,
mod_auth_ldap for example). I notice that when I have the above virtual
host set, I do indeed get the redirect but I don't see https in the
address bar (or the lock icon at the bottom right of the browser) until
*after* I authenticate. How can I tell if my authentication is passing
through the SSL tunnel?
Thanks!
Jeff
