MOODLE 3.3.4


Hello,


We just had an EV SSL cert installed for our Moodle site on our server but it still shows as being "not secure" in the address bar.


Is there a setting I need to change somewhere to get the green lock and our company to show in those in the address bar?


Thanks for the help.

Did you see the documentation https://docs.moodle.org/33/en/Transitioning_to_HTTPS ?

Thanks for the link.  I just had a look and it looks a bit more technical than I thought.

All of my courses are SCORM so does that mean I have to go into each SCORM course and re-direct them?


Cheers!

Is it as simple as adding the re-direct in the htaccess file?


Cheers,

It may be that simple - see Redirecting the HTTP address to the new HTTPS address - but if you're asking these kind of questions about SSL, then I suspect you might need some help to assure yourself that it's all been installed properly and that everything is as working as you think (hope!) it is.

I'm not being patronising btw, simply pointing out that server configuration and administration is a complex area if that's not your day job.

Hi Jon,


Not to worry......you are spot on!  I have a Moodle dev team that is going to sort it now.  I was hoping for a simple tick box in the admin panel to sort it or something easy like that.


Thanks!

Hi Jon

There is an incredibily simple trick mit "rewrite". Put this single line in the .conf file for the HTTP (not HTTPS):
Redirect permanent / https://example.com/

I know, I’m not asking the question 😉

But that will only redirect the http index to the https index - it won’t rewrite any http page to its https equivalent. The solution in the Moodle docs mentioned above does do that.

And the OP may not have access to the conf file on the server but probably will have access to an htaccess file, which will still allow the rewrite.

Hi Jon

I knew that. That's why the post was addressed to you. I found this trick much more compact than the usual ULP rewriting of Apache. Of course, the HTTPS site referenced there must exist, sllo does its Apache .conf file.

You can use apache .htaccess feature to redirect your whole website to HTTPS.


You can use this code which will redirect all your website's requests on port 80 {used by Http} to port 443 (SSL)


RewriteEngine On 

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com [NC]

RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80 

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://domain.com/$1 [R,L]
