When you want to access the SSL site for your NetScaler and Access Gateway you dont want the users to have to navigate to the HTTPS page by themselves – basically you was to automate the whole process and make it easier for them to get into your network.
I was using a HTTP Redirect method here but then the servers always show as down! With me being a bit of a perfectionist and having slight OCD I did not like this and started to look at a better way of doing things. Thats when I can across this article:
http://blogs.citrix.com/2012/04/01/redirecting-port-80-to-443-for-agee-the-nice-way/
The guys of Citrix have put a great blog up about the Clean and Dirty way of re-directing to HTTPS.
If (like me) you are a perfectionist and dont like servers showing as down in your config then have a look and implement whats written. It works – trusty me we have a nice bunch of green lights on the re-direct servers here!
