How to Force HTTPS or HTTP for different URLs
Edit this pageHow 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
- XML
- PHP

# 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 }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.
Note
An alternative way to enforce HTTP or HTTPS is to use the scheme option of a route or group of routes.
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.
