How to Force HTTPS or HTTP for different URLs
How to Force HTTPS or HTTP for different URLs¶
Tip
The best policy is to force https
on all URLs, which can be done via
your web server configuration or access_control
.
You can force areas of your site to use the HTTPS protocol in the security
config. This is done through the access_control
rules using the requires_channel
option. To enforce HTTPS on all URLs, add the requires_channel
config to every
access control:
- YAML
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
# config/packages/security.yaml security: # ... access_control: - { path: ^/secure, roles: ROLE_ADMIN, requires_channel: https } - { path: ^/login, roles: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY, requires_channel: https } # catch all other URLs - { path: ^/, roles: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY, requires_channel: https }
- XML
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22
<!-- config/packages/security.xml --> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <srv:container xmlns="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/security" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:srv="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services" xsi:schemaLocation="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services https://symfony.com/schema/dic/services/services-1.0.xsd"> <config> <!-- ... --> <rule path="^/secure" role="ROLE_ADMIN" requires_channel="https"/> <rule path="^/login" role="IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY" requires_channel="https" /> <rule path="^/" role="IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY" requires_channel="https" /> </config> </srv:container>
- PHP
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22
// config/packages/security.php $container->loadFromExtension('security', [ // ... 'access_control' => [ [ 'path' => '^/secure', 'role' => 'ROLE_ADMIN', 'requires_channel' => 'https', ], [ 'path' => '^/login', 'role' => 'IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY', 'requires_channel' => 'https', ], [ 'path' => '^/', 'role' => 'IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY', 'requires_channel' => 'https', ], ], ]);
To make life easier while developing, you can also use an environment variable,
like requires_channel: '%env(SECURE_SCHEME)%'
. In your .env
file, set
SECURE_SCHEME
to http
by default, but override it to https
on production.
See How Does the Security access_control Work? for more details about access_control
in general.
It is also possible to specify using HTTPS in the routing configuration, see How to Force Routes to Always Use HTTPS or HTTP for more details.
Note
Forcing HTTPS while using a reverse proxy or load balancer requires a proper configuration to avoid infinite redirect loops; see How to Configure Symfony to Work behind a Load Balancer or a Reverse Proxy for more details.
