You can configure the platform so that all requests are routed through HTTPS by default.

1. Locate the file /usr/local/jive/etc/httpd/sites/default.conf and open it with with a text editor.
2. In the file, look for the text "RewriteEngine On". After that line, add the following lines:

   RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
   RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}

3. Restart the Jive HTTPD (Linux) service by running the restart command as root.
