Hi Anush,

 

it is a common approach to have a virtual server listening on cleartext http which is simply used to redirect the client into https.

 

This way you force all clients to use an encrypted channel.

 

So if I got your question right, there are no concerns about it.

 

Btw, you have options to specify the response code to be used for the redirect and there is an option to modify the server header contained in the response.

 

Thanks, Stephan
