I've also heard put "Never underestimate the power of stupid people in numbers" but then that sounds so dang mean... worst than kittens in a server.

Users do not really be required to be instructed to not use http but use https instead.. Users have every God given right to be dumb and stupid, which is why we got to outsmart them and have them go our way when needed.. With IIS, there is a configuration that lets you handle the 403.4 errors redirect a user attempting to use http to https. Its a simple configuration. You need to write a simple error handler script that replaces the http part in the address to https, and all your old http addresses would get automatically redirected to https. If you have trouble getting this to work, get me offline, and I'll attempt to help you.. I very recently configured this and it works like a charm.. And no sir, no changes required on the ARS server.. it works seamlessly..

Seems like the "major" changes will be on the web server but I didn't want to overlook anything on the arsystem application server. Sounds like there aren't.
