https redirect loop

Hi:

I'm migrating a site from my old host to Azure.  My web.config file forces https with rule:

       <rule name="Redirect to HTTPS" stopProcessing="true">
          <match url="(.*)" />
          <conditions>
            <add input="{REQUEST_URI}" pattern="^\/t\/telemedicine\-news$" negate="true" />
            <add input="{HTTP_CLUSTER_HTTPS}" pattern="^on$" negate="true" />
            <add input="{HTTP_CLUSTER_HTTPS}" pattern=".+" negate="true" />
          </conditions>
          <action type="Redirect" url="https://{HTTP_HOST}/{R:0}" redirectType="SeeOther" />
        </rule>

In my old host it works.  In Azure I get the famous redirect loop issue.  

Any ideas greatly appreciated!

Thank you.

Hi fairyin:

It does support https, in fact https://mydomain.com returns redirect loop, but https://mydomain.com/login loads the page.  However, in this case, after successful login, redirect loop error page loads.

Have you tried removing the url rewrite from app.config? Nop has a way to force SSL using filters.

Hi craig.smith:

How do I force SSL using filters?  I'm on ver. 2.8.

Thank you!

Hi,

May be it was't implemented in 2.8 ^
Is there "SSL enabled:" in "Admin\Configuration\Stores\Edit" panel?

If yes then some play it

Ah, thanks, I see the Use SSL option/checkbox at Cfg. > Settings > Gen. & Misc. > Security Settings tab.   And it seems to work well with the "built-in" nopC pages.  But on my custom pages it's not forcing SSL?  In another host, we had a rewrite rule in web.config to force SSL that worked great, but after migrating to Azure, the same rewrite rule causes the famous loop issue.
