Configure Application Profile for HTTPS Redirect

When using the NSX-V load balancer in front of the VMware Aria Operations cluster you may want the URL to automatically redirect to the HTTPS login page. If you do not configure this, the user will need to insert the https field in front of the URL/IP Address

You must configure application profiles and virtual servers for HTTPS redirect.

NOTE: Ensure that you are using the HTTPS URLs in a correct manner.
