Default redirects from /[site] and /[site]/ to /[site]/omd/ are are now preserving the original requested protocol (http/https). When using the apache shared mode (which is the default), having the system apache service the pages via HTTPS, you will need to configure the system apache to provide the X-Forwarded-Proto request header to the site apache, which can be done by adding the line 'RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Proto "https"' to the proxy configuration related to the site.
So if you want to secure your site using SSL, you will need to configure the following things in the system apache:
a) Enable and configure HTTPS b) Redirecting all HTTP requests to HTTPS c) Set the request headers X-Forwarded-Proto, e.g.
<Location /[sitename]>
RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Proto "https"
</Location>
