Good Day

Is it possible to do a IIS 301 redirect from a https url to another https url keeping the original.

For example, is it possible do the below;
https://abc.firstdomain.com redirect to https://xyz.otherdomain.com.

But the user still and only sees https://abc.firstdomain.com in the browser?

I would think i need ssl certs for both domains. But is it possible?
If it is i please need help to setup.

Kind Regards
Desmond
 
No, it's not possible and would look highly suspicious for a lot of security firewalls user traffic may be going through and may ultimately block access to the site..
 
Thank you for the reply, would this only work on http? Non ssl.
 
You cant redirect to another url and keep the original url in tact.

You can redirect to the second if you determine that user hit the server on the first url and then redirect to the second.

You would need ssl's for both url's or a multi domain ssl
 
The other option might be using CNAME records?

Just to give a bit of background to help explain what we trying to do.

We have developed a web app.

Our clients would like to white label as their own.
For example, our application runs on https://app.mycompany.com, but our clients want it to come from their domain. https://app.theircompany.com.

How do i achieve this? It seems our competitors have done this, but have no idea how.
 
If you add the host headers to IIS for the clients domain and bind them to the correct cert then you would simply point the clients A record to your IIS IP.

You create A record/s that point their domain to your server IP address/es..

Note, you will need to setup their certificate in your IIS along with the required bindings..
