Unable to use Powershell 5.1 on Server 2019 to set IIS to require SSL and to redirect HTTP requests to HTTPS

I need some help with Powershell 5.1 and IIS. First some info: I'm able to successfully deploy both my site (after deleting the default site), my certificate, and bind the certificate to the site. Easy peasy. BUT. I need to set the site to require SSL and I need to redirect HTTP to HTTPS. Could someone give some assistance?

Thanks,

Richard

    I need to set the site to require SSL

    You can retrieve the binding information of your site using the Get-WebBinding cmdlet and set the SSL Certificate using the AddSslCertificate function:

    $siteName = 'mywebsite'  
    $dnsName = 'www.mywebsite.ru'  
      
    # create the ssl certificate  
    $newCert = New-SelfSignedCertificate -DnsName $dnsName -CertStoreLocation cert:\LocalMachine\My  
      
    # get the web binding of the site  
    $binding = Get-WebBinding -Name $siteName -Protocol "https"  
      
    # set the ssl certificate  
    $binding.AddSslCertificate($newCert.GetCertHashString(), "my")  
    

    I need to redirect HTTP to HTTPS

    You can refer to this link: PowerShell script that automatically adds a HTTP to HTTPS redirect rule to a web site's web.config..

    More information about this question you can refer to below links:
