Secure Site Redirect

[Unleashed]

Here's an odd problem we're having. We just recently attempted to go live and had a problem. When going to pages that require SSL, we get stuck in a redirect loop. The attempt to go to the unsecured page redirects to the secured page (as expected) but then any attempt to reach the secured page is redirected to the unsecured. I was wondering if anyone had a bright idea about what the problem may be or where I may want to look. At first I suspected that the problem was with a setting in IIS or possibly on a firewall somewhere. But you can reach the secured pages if you turn SSL off on the store and navigate directly to secure urls. So I now suspect that the software is causing the redirect loop. The loop may still be caused by some interaction between the software and a setting on a firewall or in IIS but our network guys have not been able to find a cause.

Hopefully that all made sense. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Take a look at this post: viewtopic.php?f=42&t=7461.

Before I knew to look at the ablecommerce.config file, I tried to implement my own ssl redirection script. I found that I too would get stuck in a redirection loop (my code was fighting with the able redirection). Take a look and see if that helps.

I finally got around to giving this a shot. Unfortunately it did not fix my problems. The problem described is actually the opposite of what I am experiencing. Once SSL is implemented, pages that require rewrite cause a redirect loop. Accessing any other page via SSL or without works as expected. The configuration file is exactly as was installed originally. I'm at a loss. As long as rewrite isn't enabled, I can access all pages via SSL or not. If there are any other ideas out there I would love to hear them.

Thanks Everyone.
