    Default redirect ip address to www.store.com

    OK... our PCI compliance test has failed. If you go to our site using the ip address, then add to cart, it will allow you to create an account without going to https:

    we have the redirectToWWW on, and that works for store.com, but not the ip.

    Should aspdotnetstorefront be enforcing this, or is it up to me?

    And... if it is up to me, how do I do it on IIS 7.0? (I tried adding the ip address to a redirect site binding, but it didn't work.)

    fyi: I tested 2 random sites from your gallery of customers, and they both had the same problem. (one ML8 and one multistore)

    Default OK, how about iis 6?

    ok, I'll answer my own question.

    if you go into IIS 7 manager, click on your web site, and choose "Bindings..." under Edit Site on the Actions panel (over on the right). you get a dialog with "Site Bindings". pick the http type and click the Edit... button.

    Under "Host name", I had a blank field. I changed it to www.mystore.com.

    Now, I can't connect using ip address (I get a 404 error, which is fine). Now, I also couldn't connect anymore using mystore.com, so I added a redirect of mystore.com to www.mystore.com.

    Now... I still have a store running under IIS 6. The above trick doesn't work there.

    So... same question again for IIS6: how do you disable the use of the IP address to browse to the website?

    Default

    in II6 try creating a site that with no host headers assigned to that IP. Make sure it does not a say all unassigned. Then go to the site properties and click on the on the home directory tab set the radio button to "a redirection to a URL. In the redirect to text box enter http://www.mystore.com$S$Q. The check exact URL above check box and the permanent redirection check box. Then click ok. Now test viewing the site through an IP. It should now hopefully redirect the IP URLs.

    Red face thanks!

    I didn't have any "host header value" configured under the "Advanced..." button "Web Site" properties. Filling in www.mystore.com and adding a mystore.com fixed my problem... you can't navigate to my site using ip address.

    I guess redirecting ip to mystore.com would be nice, but I don't need that to check off the "done" box here.

    thanks.
