You cannot use ServerAlias at all, as it can only live within one VHost, and
the HTTP and HTTPS needs their own.
You can use Rewrite rules to do this, but I think you also can do it with
Redirect. And if so, you should always choose Redirect above Rewrite
(faster, simpler, etc.). So what I think you should do, which I believe I've
pointer out numerous times, is to use a directive like this in your "normal"
VHost:
ServerName domain.com
ServerAlias www.domain.com
Redirect / https://www.domain.com
ServerName domain.com
...
I ask some knowledgable person who read this to verify that two VHost can
have the same name when on different ports, but I strongly suspect that to
be the case.

Robert Andersson

just a caveat.
"Name-based virtual hosting cannot be used with SSL secure servers
because of the nature of the SSL protocol"
(http://httpd.apache.org/docs/vhosts/name-based.html)
I can't tell if this is a name based setup or not.
If it is an IP based setup, then it should be okay
"Each VirtualHost must correspond to a different IP address, _different
port number_ or a different host name for the server. . . ."
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#virtualhost

Do you agree to use Redirect rather than ( Rewrite, ServerAlias, etc... ) ?

ServerName serves two purposes; Its primary function is to allow apache =
to make self-referential URLs (i.e. When redirecting, apache has to =
make URLs which come back to the server). Secondly, it allows apache to =
distinguish between name-based VHs (but then only if NameVirtualHost has =
been defined).
In the case above, the two VHs are distinguished by port number so there =
is no conflict with the repeated ServerName.=20

So, do you recommend to use Redirect rather than ServerAlias and Rewrite for the setting of Apache ?

As a general principle, always try to use the simplest technique which =
does the job. So if you can achieve what you want with a redirect rule, =
use that.
This is not to discourage the use of mod_rewrite; this is a very =
powerful module which allows you to do almost anything. However, it is a =
bit complicated and if you can do what you want with a simpler set of =
directives then you should probably do so.
