Migrating instances SSL to Non-SSL

Hi all,

Has anyone migrated an instance of MKTO (from a company that was acquired) that was using SSL (https) over to a different MKTO instance not using SSL (http)? Are there any good workarounds for redirects?

Thanks!

Kim

You can't redirect landing.example.com to landing.example.com unless the server at landing.example.com is running SSL, period.  (And if the new Marketo instance were running SSL, you wouldn't have this problem in the first place.)

You could however switch to a new landing page domain(s).  Then you could run the old one, let's say oldlps.example.com, on another server (any server/service will do as it won't be serving pages, just redirecting) and have it redirect to newlps.example.com.

(Also wonder what the justification is for removing security after an acquisition.  I mean, I know there's a cost, but it's still weird, and there's the HTTPS-HTTP referrer problem I constantly mention.)

Thanks for the response! They didn’t remove it – the new company just doesn’t have SSL and the one that was acquired did.
