The forum post on this is horribly wrong, and your support staff are directing users to that post. This resulted in 4 days of outage for our instance while we were trying to figure out what the problem was.
Let's see this request: https://screenconnect.userecho.com/topics/238-support-letsencrypt/
We've gotten around to SSL-ing our screenconnect. Now as a result if users forget or don't know how to type HTTPS in from of my url it won't work. Most end users don't know this...

That post no longer seems to work in the new version - pretty important if you ask me and others! Otherwise I need to setup a page to link to it rather than allow them to visit directly!
For anyone looking for a workaround, you can use IIS to do the redirect until screenconnect fixes this option.
We successfully used the steps in this post http://forum.screenconnect.com/yaf_postsm11906_HTTP-redirect-to-HTTPS.aspx#post11906 to get the redirect working, but it would have been nice to just flip a switch instead. At the very least, if they're directing people to it, they should clean it up and post it as a KB.
Can there be an option for SSL enabled screenconnect portals to auto redirect HTTP:// traffic to the HTTPS portal? This is currently only available with advanced configuration and should be a standard feature as http is beginning to get phased out and should not be used as a standard protocol.
