Https version not servered

I have used the SSL certificate tool in the client area for issuing a SSL. This was issued and installed before I could I install WordPress for my domain. While installing WordPress from Softaculous I have made sure to select the https:// protocol of my URL and there were no errors while installing.
Now on requesting for the home page I get served the non https version rather than the https version. On specifically requesting the https I do get the https page but on its own it is not re-directing.
Do I need to add the following lines in the htaccess file

RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} =http
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}

or am I missing some setting?
Or is it I need to setup the redirect from my control panel?
I am running a WPMU
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Regards

You need to install the plugin called “Really Simple SSL” and enable it on all WordPress sites. After installing and enabling the plugin click on “Go ahead, activate SSL!” and the HTTPS redirect will be set up on your own.
