SSL-Certificate for www and www-free within Plesk and Plesk Admin Panel

I’ve got the following problem. We have a SSL-certificate for a domain with a prepended ‘www’, like ‘www.test.com’.

I’ve integrated that certificate with Plesk for this domain and it works fine, when somebody goes directly to ‘www.test.com’. But when I enter only ‘http://test.com’, he won’t recognize the certificate and shows a warning. How can I prevent this? Do I need an extra certificate (hope not) or can I redirect the domain within Plesk directly. A PHP-header isn’t enough, because the redirection would take place after the browser tries to establish the ssl-connection.

And because the Plesk admin panel runs on this same domain, we have the same problem with ‘http://test.com:8443’ …

So basically:

'https://www.test.com' - fine
'https://test.com' - not working

'https://www.test.com:8443' - fine
'https://test.com:8443' - not working

Any suggestions would be nice, thanks a lot,

Carl

    Try adding a this rule to .htaccess in the public root. It should redirect from test.com to http://www.test.com for SSL connections:

    RewriteRule ^/(.*):SSL$   https://www.test.com/$1 [R,L]

    Typically, the certificate needs to be purchased for specific subdomain. Some Certificate Issuers do offer a cert for the .test.com domain that includes all subdomains (including test.com and http://www.test.com). If you’re unsure, you should contact your certificate issuer directly.
