I've configured IIS 7 to require SSL. I'm wondering if I can automatically redirect non-ssl requests to be encrypted.

For example, if a user types in http://domain.com, can IIS redirect the request to https://domain.com rather than display the 403 error page?

There are a few ways you can do this but if you have the URL Rewrite Module installed, it's fairly easy and a good way to do it.

You can paste the below configuration into your site's web.config file.

<rewrite>  
  <rules> 
   <rule name="https redirect">      
      <match url="(.*)" ignoreCase="false" />     
         <conditions>        
            <add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="off" ignoreCase="false" />      
         </conditions>      
      <action type="Redirect" redirectType="Found" url="https://{HTTP_HOST}{REQUEST_URI}" />    
   </rule>  
  </rules>
</rewrite>

OR you can use the UI to make a new rule like in the below screenshot.

You could also use UrlRewriter.NET. The rules to use with that, look like this:

<rewriter>
    <if header="HTTPS" match="^OFF$">
        <redirect url="(.*)" to="https://yourdomain.com$1"/>
    </if>
</rewriter>

First, you need to disable 'Require SSL' in SSL Settings. Then you can follow skottt's solution.

BTW, I followed RuslanY Blog's blog http://ruslany.net/2009/04/10-url-rewriting-tips-and-tricks/
