After adding an SSL certificate to your domain (eg: yourdomaine.com). You can force all visitors of your website to use secure connection (HTTPS) through two steps described here-under:
1) Make sure that mod_rewrite Apache module is enabled
# httpd -t -D DUMP_MODULES | grep rewrite
Syntax OK
rewrite_module (shared)
2) Go to Plesk > Domains > select yourdomain.com > then select Apache $ ngins settings > sdd the code below to Additional directives for HTTP :
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R,QSA]
</IfModule>
