Force http to https

Hi @Rob Salerno ,

Thank you for submitting your question on Microsoft Q&A.

To force HTTP to HTTPS and redirect traffic from http://cliqueprize.com to https://www.cliqueprize.com for your Azure Static Web App, here’s the complete step-by-step solution.

1. Add Both Domains to Your Static Web App

You need to add both the apex domain (cliqueprize.com) and the www subdomain (www.cliqueprize.com) as custom domains.

Use the following CLI command for each domain:

az staticwebapp hostname set \
  --name <YourStaticWebAppName> \
  --resource-group <YourResourceGroup> \
  --hostname www.cliqueprize.com

Repeat for the apex domain:

az staticwebapp hostname set \
  --name <YourStaticWebAppName> \
  --resource-group <YourResourceGroup> \
  --hostname cliqueprize.com

2. Set www.cliqueprize.com as the Default Domain

This ensures that all traffic (including requests to the apex domain) redirects to https://www.cliqueprize.com.

Steps in Azure Portal:

1. Go to your Static Web App → Custom Domains.
2. Select www.cliqueprize.com.
3. Click Set as default domain.

3. . DNS Configuration

At your DNS provider, configure the following records:

• CNAME for www.cliqueprize.com → yourappname.azurestaticapps.net
• ALIAS/ANAME (preferred) or A record for cliqueprize.com → yourappname.azurestaticapps.net
• If your DNS provider doesn’t support ALIAS/ANAME, you can use Azure DNS or an A record with the provided IP.

4. Enforce HTTPS

Azure Static Web Apps automatically enforces HTTPS once a valid TLS/SSL certificate is provisioned for your custom domain.

• You do not need to run extra CLI commands (like az spring app update, which applies only to Azure Spring Apps).
• Once the domain is verified and the certificate is issued, HTTP requests will automatically redirect to HTTPS.

With these steps, requests to http://cliqueprize.com or http://www.cliqueprize.com will automatically redirect to https://www.cliqueprize.com.
