Set SSL after Login/Authentication in Kentico - content-management-system

Question

I have requirement that once user has logged in and is authenticated URL should be changed to SSL and when he logs out url is back to HTTP.
I am aware about Properties in webpart where we can set YES/NO/INHERITS/NEVER.
I am able to set HTTPS permanently but not dynamically.
Any suggestion/help is appreciated.

Answer 1

I'm not aware of any functionality within Kentico to do this, but you should be able to create a webpart and place it on the masterpage. This web part would just check the current user, and if there is a user that is logged in redirect to https version and vice versa.
You could also add some logic to make sure it doesn't do this in the the edit tab in cmsdesk.
You can check the user with
CMSContext.CurrentUser
Some help with redirecting to the secure page can be found at
asp.net c# redirecting from http to https

Answer 2

As rocky said there is not functionality out of the box that will do this for you.
You need to create a web part like it was suggested by Lukek that checks that the user is logged in and redirects them to the https address.
The code below will redirect.
if (!Request.IsLocal && !Request.IsSecureConnection)
{
string redirectUrl = Request.Url.ToString().Replace("http:", "https:");
Response.Redirect(redirectUrl);
}
As suggested bu lukek you need to check the CMSContext.CurrentUser however I would also use the HttpContext.User property.
That will enforce the request to be https.
