We are excited to announce the launch of updated product names, logos, and headers within our user interfaces as part of the CivicPlus® Solution Rebranding initiative. These changes mark the first step toward creating a cohesive and seamless user experience across all solutions in our portfolio. As part of this transition, users may notice minor design updates. While the functionality you rely on remains unchanged, we are in the process of updating screenshots and other resources on our Help Centers to reflect the new branding. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to complete these updates.

Enable HTTPs by Default (Always SSL)

  • Updated:

This article will show you how to enable HTTPS by Default. This controls whether all pages use Always Secure Socket Layer (SSL) by default. You should not select this setting unless the Mixed Content Reports show no concerns. If available, this will take effect immediately. If unavailable, please contact your Customer Success Manager.

 

Who can use this feature?

The System Admin icon.

 

 

Important Notes

  • Please ensure to download a mixed content report and address the items in a mixed content report before enabling Always SSL.
  • Redirect Domain: These domains are secondary domains the customer has on their account and will be sent to the Primary SSL Domain when Enable Always SSL is turned on.
  • Unsafe Redirects: These are items in the Redirects module that need to have their destinations as HTTPS, otherwise they will be broken. View our article Modify a Redirect for more information.
