Answer 1

This works for me. Add the configurations in httpd.conf of apache

CASE-1: when user hits http://XX.XX.XX.XX/main or http://ayz-abc.mysite.com/main it should be redirected to https://ayz-abc.mysite.com/main

Configuration:

#
# Use name-based virtual hosting.
#
NameVirtualHost *:80

ServerName XX.XX.XX.XX
Redirect /main https://ayz-abc.mysite.com/main

CASE 2 : When user hits https://XX.XX.XX.XX/main it should be redirected to https://ayz-abc.mysite.com/main

Configuration:

NameVirtualHost *:443

DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"
#Server Name 
ServerName XX.XX.XX.XX
SSLEngine on
SSLOptions +StrictRequire
# Redirect to the specified URL 
Redirect /main https://ayz-abc.mysite.com/main

SSLRequireSSL
