Nginx redirect to main domain on SSL -

i have 2 equal domains, served virtual hosts, site.com , additional.com. have ssl cert first 1 , don't want another. when user trying log in, i'm doing permanent redirect:

server {   listen   443;   server_name  additional.com;   rewrite ^/(.*) https://site.com permanent; } 

...

server {   listen 80;   server_name site.com additional.com;    root /home/site/production/public;    location / {     ...   } }  server {   listen 443;   server_name site.com;   ssl                  on;   ... } 

and fails, since ssl traffic proxied uplink server, , cannot handle it, because talks http , there's ssl23_get_server_hello:unknown protocol (for chrome; firefix , curl have different error messages). had change (notice http, not https here):

server {   listen   443;   server_name  additional.com;   rewrite ^/(.*) http://site.com permanent; } 

errors no longer appear, when going /login page (that should secure , uplink redirects https) it's not rewriting, stating certificate invalid. if confirm security exception, redirected site.com landing page , need click on login link second time.

how set redirect https://additional.com/login point https://site.com correctly?

you need ssl certificate every step of journey if want redirect https https, i'm afraid. no way around - @ least kill errors.

that said... try rewrites:

rewrite ^/(.*) https://site.com/$1 permanent; 

this should keep path used.
