ASP.net C# and IIS7 Request.IsSecureConnection Problem

Question

Hi

I am setting SSL on my website and it seems that the Request.Request.IsSecureConnection variable doesn't pickup that the page is secure even though the page is being viewed through HTTPS.

When i view the page internally which just runs this segment of code on load:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Data.SqlClient;

public partial class OnlineServices_test : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {


        label1.Text = Request.IsSecureConnection.ToString();


        
     
    }
}

When view internally (https://localhost/test.aspx) the page shows true, however when the same file is viewed externally (https://<<WebsiteURL>>/test.aspx it shows as false.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The IsSecureConnection attribute is return false because the connection between client and server is not encrypted, you need to ensure that SSL certificate is installed. Here is a similar post.
