I need to rewrite URLs like *.lang.domain.com to lang.domain.com and I successfully did it using nginx rewrite module. I have wildcard certificate *.domain.com and it can't secure 4 level domain like test.lang.domain.com
Main problem is when users type https://bla-bla.lang.domain.com
in their browser they firstly get a notice about connection is not secure. Then they need to click advanced and proceed https://bla-bla.lang.domain.com (unsafe). After that they will be redirected to https://lang.domain.com.
So my question is whether it is possible to do redirect before https-connection has been established in nginx? Or can it be achieved on some upper-level?
server {
listen 80 default;
server_name www.domain.com domain.com *.domain.com;
if ($host ~* "^.+\.(.+\.domain\.com)$") {
set "$domain" "$1";
rewrite ^(.*)$ https://$domain$uri permanent;
}
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
}
server {
listen 443 default;
server_name www.domain.com domain.com *.domain.com;
if ($host ~* "^.+\.(.+\.domain\.com)$") {
set "$domain" "$1";
rewrite ^(.*)$ https://$domain$uri permanent;
}
ssl on;
ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/domain.com/domain.com.ca-bundle;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/domain.com/domain.com.key;
include "conf.d/ssl_settings.default";
include "conf.d/redirect.ssl.default";
include "conf.d/logger_front.default";
location / {
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header HTTPS on;
proxy_pass https://somestream;
}
}
Redirects happen after a secure connection is established. So no, you cannot have a redirect to handle your particular case.
