Redirect HTTP to HTTPS on CSS

I thought this was a simple question, but I can't seem to make it work.

I want to redirect HTTP traffic to HTTPS for a particular site. The CSS is terminating the SSL, and the backend servers are listing on TCP 80.

No matter what I try, it isnt working. What am I missing?

I seem to be making some progress on my own. Currently, Im now being redirected (using a HTTP proxy debugger, I see that Im getting a 302 and browser is showing the cert) but the page fails to display. Here is my current config.

I finally figured it out. I need to create a backend content server for the SSL module to talk to. Once I did that and reconfigured the ssl-proxy to acknowlege it, it began to work. Here is the final config:

ssl-proxy-list somedomain_list

I guess I still have a couple of questions:

• What is the significance of the IP address in the redirect service:

service www.somedomain.com_redirect

ip address 2.2.2.2

• I will need to configure the use of sticky cookies, would this be done on content www.somedomain.com_decrypt ?

• I'm using a one armed config with NAT. My two servers are oracle 11i app servers. We chose the one armed config so that DB transactions did not go through the CSS. I believe this is going to cause issues with our webtrends install because all users are going to come from the 10.101.0.8 addy. Is there away around this? The servers and CSS are in a DMZ behind an ASA.
