Nginx with SSL

For a demo Application that has to be show in the Internet, we need a Scala Lift online. This contains sensitive data, so i need SSL. But the Jetty Server were all the Scala Lift Application is no able to handle Name or SSL so easliy (Or it can, but i have no idea how to do it). So i want that my Website allowing access via http, but then redicting to the HTTPS Page. Just made sure, i add a password so no one unknown can see it. First create a new SSL Certificate :

cd /usr/nginx/
mkdir SSL
cd SSL
openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 1024
openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr
cp server.key server.key.org
openssl rsa -in server.key.org -out server.key
openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in server.csr -signkey server.key -out server.crt

add in your configuration /etc/nginx/site-avaiable/YOUR_DOMAINNAME_HERE

server {
 listen 0.0.0.0:80;
 server_name YOUR_DOMAINNAME_HERE,;
 log_format main '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] $status '
 '"$request" $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '
 '"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"';
 access_log /var/log/nginx/YOUR_DOMAINNAME_HERE.log;
 rewrite ^(.*) https://YOUR_DOMAINNAME_HERE permanent;
 }

 server {
 listen 0.0.0.0:443;
 ssl on;
 ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/SSL/server.crt;
 ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/SSL/server.key;
 server_name YOUR_DOMAINNAME_HERE,;
 access_log /var/log/nginx/ssl-YOUR_DOMAINNAME_HERE.log;
location / {
 auth_basic "Restricted";
 auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/auth/dev-htpasswd;
 proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
 proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
 proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy fale;
 proxy_set_header Host $host;
 proxy_pass http://localhost:8080;
}
}

Now enable the configuration and restart the nginx.
