Question

I bought a SSL certificate for the domain https://www.mypage.com. I have other domains like https://www.mypage.fr, https://www.mypage.es…For those I didn’t buy a SSL certificate.

When I go to https://www.mypage.com the page is showed directly OK, but if I go to https://www.mypage.fr, the browser shows the typical message “This Connection is Untrusted”..

When the user enter to https://www.mypage.fr I would like to redirect the user to https://www.mypage.com in order to not showing the message “This connection is untrusted..”.

For that, I have written this in my .htaccess:

RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^443$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.mypage.com [NC] 
RewriteRule (.*)$ https://www.mypage.com [R=301,L]

but when I go to https://www.mypage.fr the browser still shows the message “This connection is untrusted…”.

So what should I do to redirect my sites avoiding this message?

Answer 1

You can’t prevent it. Before your server gets any control over what’s happening, the browser checks the certificate and issues the warning.

Is there any reason the user would be going to https://www.mypage.fr rather than http://www.mypage.fr? You can redirect from http://www.mypage.fr to https://www.mypage.com without any warnings.
