We have both port 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS) enabled on our Netvault web interface.
Is there a way to redirect port 80 to port 443?
We want this so that users can go to the domain name and use HTTPS without having to remember to type the port number or "https" at the beginning. Most web servers allow HTTP-to-HTTPS redirection nowadays.
Hello jasonfreeman
There is no way to do a redirection as it is not a regular Apache or IIS, what is handlind the web service is a process called nvwsrequesthandler.
But what you can do is to change ports, to do so you go in the WebUI to Change Settings -> Server Settings -> Web Service and there you can enable/disable http or https, so you can enable http and https and choose port 80 (for http) and 443 (for https) click ok and restart NetVault service to apply. That way you can just call your NetVault Server by ip or name using regular http or https without using a port.
Hope information above helps.

As I said, we already use port 80 and port 443.
The problem: using port 80 will not require the user to remember to type "https," but using HTTP (regardless of the port) is a security risk.
Using HTTPS requires the user to manually type "https" at the beginning, which is not what most users expect.
Ideally, going to netvault.example.com would automatically redirect to https://netvault.example.com:443. nginx, Apache, and IIS easily do this.
Is there a way to do a feature request so that this can be added in the next version of Netvault?

Was this implemented in 12.3? I am looking for it but haven't been able to find it.
looks like this is going to be implemented for NetVault v13.0. Thanks for your suggestion!!
