<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">We have a problem where we have a large number of vanity domain names that are redirected. For example we have surgery.yale.edu which redirects to medicine.yale.edu/surgery. This works fine until someone tries
to request <a href="https://surgery.yale.edu">https://surgery.yale.edu</a>. For administrative reasons, I cannot get a wildcard certificate to handle *.yale.edu and make this simple to solve.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">My question is if there is any way to redirect a request listening on port 80 and 443 but bypass the SSL certificate warning so it will redirect? I would assume the order of operation with HTTPS is to first
validate the certificate but I really want the 301 redirect to take place before the SSL cert is verified.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I’m open to ideas but we are limited in what we can actually do so as it stands the only solution we have is to request a certificate for each of the 600+ domains.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
