I created Jelastic environment with Jetty 9. Then I added SSL support - Jelastic created NGinx instance and my solution now available using https and provides certificate. Question is - how to deny access on old non secure way? I mean using ordinary http?

Answer 1

You just need to edit the nginx config. to redirect http requests to https.

Example configs:

• NGINX Redirect http to https and non-www to ww
