Updated: Jun 22 2023, 01:45 PM

IIS

Note you must have an SSL certificate properly installed and https bindings set up properly in IIS before completing these steps. In addition be sure to edit the APP_URL variable in your .env configuration file for HelpSpot to reflect the https:// url. 

1. Install the rewrite module in IIS following these directions http://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/url-rewrite
2. Open the IIS Manager and navigate to the site that your helpspot instance is installed on.
3. Select URL Rewrite and add a new rule.
4. For the pattern to match input the regular expression.*
5. Add a new condition that checks if {HTTPS} is off

6. For the action choose to redirect to https://{HTTP_HOST}/{R:0}

You site should now redirect urls that are http:// to https://
