How to redirect what's in the browser's URL to PfSense's FQDN?
-
I have purchased a wildcard certificate for my home network so I will stop getting the certificate error in my browser. (It was cheap < $100) http://cheapsslsecurity.com. Accessing my firewall from outside the network is not a problem, but when I'm home I don't usually access my equipment by the FQDN. If I access it by it's FQDN I don't have a issue but when I access it by it's domain name I get a certificate error. I have looked in the settings and I don't see where I can get PfSense to redirect the URL to the FQDN when using HTTPS (HTTP I'm thinking this is a non issue). I'm assuming this has to be done server side. I am running Windows Server 2012 R2 and have DNS setup, but I don't see how this can be done from the DNS server stand point unless I'm missing something. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

I found some code that may work see below:
<virtualhost *:80="">ServerName undesired.example.com ServerAlias example.com notthis.example.com Redirect / http://www.example.com/</virtualhost> <virtualhost *:80="">ServerName www.example.com</virtualhost>I found this code on http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3028166/how-do-i-redirect-a-user-using-apache-rewrite-to-the-fully-qualified-domain-nam
My question before I attempt to add this is what web server does PfSense use 2.1.5 64 bit and what web server does 2.2 64 bit use?
I'm assuming that it is Apache but you know how the saying goes. I would like to see functionality built into PfSense in the form of a check box maybe on the Advance tab. If I have some time I may try to hack this in this weekend. Doesn't seem like to many lines of code to add.
