Apache mod_rewrite working with http but not https

Question

I am configuring an apache server to change URLs from [http://(IP)/users/testuser/test.html] to [http:/(IP)/~testuser/test.html]

This works fine, as such

RewriteEngine On  
RewriteRule ^/users/(.*)$ /~\$1 [R]

However when someone does [https://(IP)/users/testuser/test.html] it does not change it to [https:/(IP)/~testuser/test.html]

Any suggestions?

Okay, figured it out - you have to add the rule to a virtual host directive in the ssl.conf file instead of where I was trying to put it. — roger34, Commented May 18, 2012 at 0:54

I added below in default-ssl.conf and it worked.

<Directory /var/www/html> #Your directory path
  Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
  AllowOverride All
  Require all granted
</Directory>
