Rewriting IIS URL: 403 - Forbidden: Forbidden

I installed the IIS URL Rewrite 2.0 and add a rule to redirect all http links to https. Here is my Web.Config code:

  <rewrite> <rules> <rule name="REdirect To HTTPS" stopProcessing="true"> <match url="(.*)" /> <conditions> <add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="^OFF$" /> </conditions> <action type="Redirect" url="https://{HTTP_HOST}/{R:1}" redirectType="SeeOther" /> </rule> </rules> </rewrite>

Everything looks great. But when I access my site using http, it gives a 403 error.

 403 - Forbidden: Access is denied. You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied.

TLS 1.0 is included with IIS 7.5.

Where can I find out more about what 403 error is?

SSL was included in IIS. I just read somewhere that in SSL settings Require SSL needs to be disabled when using URL Rewrite 2.0.

Deselect Require SSL and click Apply. Now it works fine.

Not sure if this will help, but I see that your rule is not included.

 <rule name="Redirect to https" enabled="false" stopProcessing="true">
