Can the SSL VPN client download page redirect from http to https?

[rijkrkk43]

When SSL VPN-Plus is configured and enabled, I can access it via https://edge-ip-address - which automatically redirects to https://edge-ip-address/sslvpn-plus/doaction.svp?type=login

However, if I type http://edge-ip-address (http, not https) I can't get to the page. Is there a way to redirect http://edge-ip-address to https://edge-ip-address

I tried using the load balancer and setting an application profile with the redirect, as well as an application rule - to no avail. I used the instructions from this thread: https://communities.vmware.com/thread/551463

What version of NSX are you using?

When creating the SSL VPN, isn't there an FW rule created on the ESG under VSE or user?  Can you place a rule above it and block HTTP to the public IP address.  Or does it NEED to be a redirect?

Version is 6.3.5

A firewall rule is automatically created to allow 443.

The requirement was to have users redirected to https regardless if they typed that in, however I suppose that would mean adding a rule for port 80.  Thank you.

I think you are on the right track.

Try adding the HTTP(TCP\80) rule and check if the redirection works.
