How to make Google cloud deployment use SSL?

[Uri Blackman]

I deployed Library via Google cloud and created a domain alias with an ssl certificate, but whenever it authenticates it reverts to http:// instead of https://

This is even though I have the authorized redirect URIs both as http:// and https:// URLs.

I'm not too familiar with Google cloud, so any pointers in how to enable SSL access for the library app would be appreciated.

Thanks, Uri

To be more specific - it's just the initial authentication that redirects to http:// 

after it authenticates then I can switch to https:// and it works ok.

So the question is how do I make the default redirection to https:// instead of http://

Hi Uri,

Which google service are you using to deploy the app? If it's Google App Engine, I think you may need to create (or edit if you have one) an app.yaml file with secure: always set. Full app.yaml documentation can be found here.

Let me know if that helps!

Hi Andrew,

That worked great.

I added the following to library/app.yaml

handlers:
- url: /.*
  secure: always
  redirect_http_response_code: 301
  script: auto

and then reloaded the instance with

gcloud app deploy ...

and it now defaults to https

Thanks, Uri
