Important

   Most Web browsers can only use port 443 for SSL requests.
The Connections tab enables you to control the redirection of users who try to connect to your published SSL sites using HTTP. Typically, in a secure Web publishing scenario, you would select the option Redirect all traffic from HTTP to HTTPS. This will automatically redirect all HTTP requests to HTTPS.
If you are publishing both HTTP and SSL sites by using a single Web listener, you may want to select Do not redirect traffic from HTTP to HTTPS and then configure HTTP to HTTPS redirection on each publishing rule for your HTTP and SSL sites, as appropriate. Note that this option does not result in automatic redirection but requires the user to retype the URL using "HTTPS". For per-rule configuration, select Notify HTTP users to use HTTPS instead on the Traffic tab of each Web publishing rule.
The third option on the Connections tab of the Web listener is Redirect all authenticated traffic from HTTP to HTTPS, which will redirect requests only when the user is required to authenticate. If you select this option, the per-rule redirection option is only available if the rule applies to the All Users user set, as all authenticated users will already be automatically redirected by the Web listener.
