Our campus has an SSL certificate for www.csulb.edu. If you go to

Now, if you go to https://csulb.edu, you get an error. I talked to
our server admin and he said it's because our certificate is
registered to www.csulb.edu and not csulb.edu. He said only a
wildcard certificate would fix this problem, but that something that
the campus doesn't want to do for security and cost reasons.
So, is it possible to set up a rewrite condition such that when
someone tries to navigate to https://csulb.edu, it will automatically
redirect the user to https://www.csulb.edu and avoid the certificate
error? I tried using the following in a .htaccess file and it didn't
work (still got the error):
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !www
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R]
I thought maybe if the above code was put somewhere in the httpd.conf
file it might work?
It seems like a long-shot (admin didn't think it'd work), but I
figured I'd ask the experts here. Any other possible ways to work
around this?
Thanks!

You can simplify this a bit by saying "redirect anything that is not
going to www.csulb.edu". However, you'll have to put the rewrite
directives inside the <VirtualHost> configuration for the SSL version of
the site, as the .htaccess file is run after a connection is established
with the browser.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.csulb\.edu$
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ https://www.csulb.edu/$1 [R=permanent,L]
