Forcing HTTPS for HTTP users

[sevealin 0]

Hello!

 

First post! I have some users who access Emby remotely. I just recently setup a valid certificate for HTTPS. I've noticed the users connecting to the HTTP web client still (port 8096). My secure connection mode is set to "preferred, but not required". If I change it to "Required for all remote users", no users can login (they receive an invalid login error). The users have the Emby server added with the HTTP port, not the HTTPS port (8920). 

 

Is there a way to move them all to the HTTPS port without having to tell them to re-add the server?

 

Thank you!

Hi, how are they connecting to your web app?

Hi, how are they connecting to your web app?

Most users are connecting through the Emby app for Android/iOS. Very few users connect through a web browser to watch on PC.

What kind of SSL cert do you have?

What kind of SSL cert do you have?

 

PKCS#12 signed by Let's Encrypt. I followed most of the tutorial below except for the steps for older versions of Emby.

If you set it to be required then what happens with the android mobile app?

I think I know where you are going with this. I just checked some firewall logs (which I should've done at first) and after I set it to "required for remote connections", the logs show android client began using the https port right after I made the change automatically, even though the android client was originally setup to use the http port.

 

Sorry for the waste of time! I appreciate you taking the time to help me with this.
