Switching MultiSite installation from HTTP to HTTPS

I installed MultiSite with the URL set as http://example.com, but now I want to force all requests to go over HTTPS, so I’m trying to change the URL to be https://example.com. I’ve gone through the database and updated all the siteurl and home values to have https, but the site still loads over HTTP, instead of being redirected to HTTPS.

I know that I could setup some htaccess rules, but that’s prone to errors. In regular installations WordPress will automatically redirect all requests to the canonical URLS defined in the siteurl and home settings, so I’m assuming that MultiSite does too.

There are plugins to set the site to SSL. Why not use one of them?

And you do have an SSL certificate installed and active?
