If you do an http redirect with apache mod_rewrite, then users wouldn't be able to remove the S. Same method can be also used to redirect a domain.com to www.domain.com (to avoid duplicate links for example).

thank You for reply, I think I understand what You mean, but still not sure how to fix it. Can this be done from Virtualmin ?
as far as I know, perhaps this config will do it ?
RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80 RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://domain.com/$1 [R,L]

but how the manually created .htaccess will affect the Virtualmin ?
I added the following config in the .htaccess file and it`s working just fine, the user is not able to remove the httpS:// because once he do it the redirect will take him back to https:// ...
RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80 RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://domain.com/$1 [R,L]
So the config above is tested and working just fine !

Howdy,
You're quite welcome to use a .htaccess file to do that -- it's a good way to solve that problem.
I'm glad you got that working for you!

thanks a lot pal,
BUT one suggestion :) You could also make it possible to edit .htaccess files from Virtualmin perhaps something called "Create Cuscom .htaccess file" and open the web form where we can type the rewrite domains etc .. :)

This here solved it for me.
Force the website (virtual server) to use https (SSL) instead of http. Under
Virtualmin --> Services --> Configure Website --> Edit Directives
bei RewriteEngine On
Folgendes einfügen
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.domain.com/$1 [R,L]
(Der Schrägstrich zwischen Domain und $1 musste bei mir auch noch weg, sonst gab es doppelte Schrägstriche in Domain.) Das Ganze kann auch in einer .htaccess hinterlegt werden.
Don't forget to reload/restart Apache so that the changes become effective. (button upper right corner...)
Virtualmin --> Services --> Configure Website --> Edit Directives
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/(.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R]
Restart Apache

Perfect.
Thanks dude.
VM being a GUI ( graphical user interface ) needs a click for that function otherwise what is the point ??
